Ebay email alerts possible?

DublinWriter · 2010-07-13 16:23:18

Basically, I want to get an email alert when certain items become available. I tried stuffalert.com but it doesn't seem to be working too well anymore. Are there any sites/tools out there that people use for the above type of use? Thanks.

Since eBay product categories are so disorganised, I'd say that something like this would be impossible.

can you not use saved searches?
Basically you can setup email alerts on these (e.g. daily summary for 6 mths).
Trick is get the search right.

Saved searches would work. Just do a search and click on "Save this search and alert me later" at the top of the search results and you'll have the option to receive email alerts for 6 months. You can cancel it at any time. I've done this a few times before and it's worked fine. 4Bs is right that you need to make sure the search is right.
