New ebay service

It would be nice if ebay added a service that would make finding what you want easier. If you search for an item and don't find what you want at that time, you could have ebay send emails every time a new item that meets your search is listed on ebay. When you find what you want, you cancel the search criteria.

that would require more work for ebay, and I am sure fees would have to increased for that...

Ebay does have something like that. I think you can set it up in the "my favorite searches"...look around and you will stumble across it somewhere in ebay:)

I just checked, and it is in My Ebay. Go to favorite searches and add a search. You will receive an email for as long as you want everytime a new item like the one you are looking for is listed.

Don't forget "Want it Now"-- you can post and give a description of what you are looking for, and someone may have it. Happy Ebaying!

The service ebay really should offer is 'decluttering'! :)

As a seller, I find going through all the "want it nows" to be a chore. I would definitely do the favorite search idea. I've done this, and found it works quite well. I'm told immediately if one of my search preferences has been listed.

This feature has existed for several years. I used it once and I go so many emails with each new listing I daid nada to it for I could not find my other emails. LOL But now I think you chan choose how often they send emails regarding searches. I think===============!

I never set up any Favorites or Searches, but I Thank the Ebay Gods for saving me about a year ago, maybe longer, well You could see by the dates on my Feedback. I hadnt used my Ebay acct in over a year, suddenly outta the Blue I started getting emails from Ebay, saying 'Sorry U didnt win that item you were looking at, but here are some Similar items to check out...' And I hadnt been Looking at or bidding on Anything!! So I went to my Ebay acct, and ultimately figured out someone else was Using my Ebay acct and did 'win' me something.. and when I looked at it, It was like a $70 item and I am totally Honest, I had no idea what the thing was, I just could not tell, it was so (i hate using the name weird) ..So by Ebay being Proactive, they helped me out of that situation!! Thank Goodness I got my money back...
