Check one listing before trusting it

"Should I trust this listing?" — pass the listing URL (or a Macfax listing id) and get: whether Macfax knows it, whether it still passes every quality gate, its scam/junk/classified/auction flags, when a scan last verified it live, its ask against the configuration's typical asking band, the platform's own seller-reputation figures where the marketplace has them (seller_signals: eBay feedback count/percent, Swappa rating; null elsewhere — Craigslist has no seller reputation to read), and whether a verified Macfax report is attached. Facts, not verdicts — relay the numbers. Human twin: https://macfax.com/listing-check. Rate limits: 20/min and 500/day per anonymous IP; 200/min and 5000/day with a free key.
