eBay Saved-Search Alerts: A Faster Way to Track New Listings

eBay lets you save a search and get follow-up emails. It works — but if you are hunting deals, the speed and the filters often are not enough.

What eBay’s saved search does

eBay’s built-in saved search lets you store a query and receive occasional emails when new items match. It is fine for casual tracking, but the emails can lag behind the listing and you are limited to the basic search filters — which is a problem when a good deal sells in minutes.

A faster, more precise alternative

Madealert watches eBay continuously and notifies you within seconds of a match, by push or email. You also get filters the native saved search does not give you:

• Exclude-keywords to drop results like “for parts” or “repair.”
• Price including shipping, so your ceiling reflects the real total.
• Condition and buying format set per alert.
• Real-time push instead of batched emails.

Set one up in a minute
