ebay search = turtle !!!

[redbenjoe]

i have a few rare box needs --that none of you stiffs ever sell or even heard of

so --i have placed them on the 'ebay search alert' system --
BUT---
whenever they notify me about the brand new listings-
it ALWAYS about a full day LATER

so --if it WAS a god BIN --
its GONE ---before the ebay email arrives :'-( :'-(

anybody here have a FAST inside track ??
seems like their notifications should be within SECONDS
right ??

You can also try getting RSS feed notifications sent to you. RSS feeds are updated almost instantaneously and should get to you way before an e-mail.

Go here for a FREE program and get real-time system tray pop-up notifications for RSS and Atom feeds:

Their guide is for basic auction browsing, but it also works on saved searches. Just look for this icon (

) on your saved search results page.

Good tips guys, the eBay email system is unreliable at best. :grim:
