Thought of two things we should do during the ingest process.
Download and cache images to Cloudfront. Store Cloudfront url in database instead of directing client browser to eBay, CL, and other sources to resolve images. (Can we get our IP blocked doing this?).
Before saving item to database ping the url and ensure we don't get 404 or placeholder. Validate posting is still live.
