About Kestrel Market
Kestrel Market is a demo shopping simulator: a realistic online marketplace where you can browse products, compare prices, build a cart and complete a full checkout — without buying anything.
What is real, and what is simulated
- Real: the products are genuine, commercially available models from well-known brands. Where available, their photographs are authentic images of that exact model, retrieved from the Open Icecat manufacturer catalog or the official eBay Browse API and stored on this server.
- Simulated: prices, discounts, stock levels, ratings, review counts, shipping costs, taxes, order numbers and delivery tracking. They exist only to make the experience realistic.
- Never happens: no payment is taken, no card or bank details are requested, no real order is placed with any seller and nothing is shipped.
Independence
Kestrel Market is an independent project with its own branding. It is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by eBay Inc. or any brand shown. Brand and product names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to identify the products.
Why a simulator?
It is useful for UX research, training customer-support teams, teaching e-commerce, testing analytics, or simply showing how a modern store works end-to-end — all with zero financial risk.
