|
|
Stupid Ebay's Saved Search is never working for me -_- ... I just found out that I missed a really rare item, again (and it was gone for very cheap)...
Any recommendation about a bot that could automate Ebay searches (let's say daily searches, or even hourly) and notify by email if something is found? If such thing exists? _________________ Stelo.xyz Museum (CPU Collection and more) |

I can't help, but ebay search really s..... for example I must suscribe a VPN account to have an US server and so I can see almost all the auctions I search in US ... but not all and I still don't understand why?!
if there may be something worse, it is the search for objects on Taobao, which is 10 times worse than that of Ebay |

Yeah, that is really annoying too, I know that many results are hidden from searches for some reason...
Who knows if there is actually a SL7QB somewhere that I am not seeing due to this...
How can a company, which only purpose is to make money, fail on making features that makes them money?
Thank you, I will give it a try...
The "Ebay Site" option makes me a bit paranoid... If I have to add a search for every site... _________________ Stelo.xyz Museum (CPU Collection and more) |

Looks like Automated Searches works at least much better than the Ebay's Saved Searches, got some Emails (and nothing from Ebay!)...
Now, as what I am looking for are pretty rare, few successful results are not enough to conclude if it works very well, but I will continue using Automated Searches... _________________ Stelo.xyz Museum (CPU Collection and more) |

I'd forgotten about this Got too many bills to catch up on before I set up loads of searches though  _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.
