# Quick Start

## 1. Run a search

Type a query into the search bar and press **Search** or hit Enter.

!!! tip
    Start broad (`vintage camera`) then narrow with keyword filters once you see results. The must-include and must-exclude fields let you refine without re-searching from scratch.

## 2. Read the trust badge

Each listing card shows a trust badge in the top-right corner:

| Badge | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| Green (70–100) | Established seller, no major concerns |
| Yellow (40–69) | Some signals missing or marginal |
| Red (0–39) | Multiple red flags — proceed carefully |
| `STEAL` label | Price significantly below market median |

A spinning indicator below the badge means enrichment is still in progress (account age is being fetched). Scores update automatically when enrichment completes.

## 3. Check red flags

Red flag pills appear below the listing title when Snipe detects a concern. Hover or tap a flag for a plain-language explanation.

## 4. Click through to eBay

Listing titles link directly to eBay. In cloud mode, links include an affiliate code that supports Snipe's development at no cost to you. You can opt out in Settings.

## 5. Filter results

Use the sidebar filters to narrow results without re-running the eBay search:

- **Min trust score** — slider to hide low-confidence listings
- **Min account age / Min feedback** — hide new or low-volume sellers
- **Hide listings checkboxes** — hide new accounts, suspicious prices, duplicate photos, damage mentions, long-on-market, significant price drop

These filters apply instantly to the current result set. Use the search bar to change the underlying eBay query.
