One developer, thousands of monitors.
eSnipe exists because eBay's own saved-search emails arrive after the deal is gone. Here's who runs it and how it stays free.
Andrew Galvin
Founder of eSnipe
I build and run eSnipe on my own: the scanner that re-runs every monitor against eBay's public search, the Discord and push delivery, the web dashboard, and the iPhone and Android apps. The guides on this site are written from watching what those monitors actually catch, and what they miss.
It exists for one reason: eBay's own saved-search notifications arrive on eBay's schedule, which for an underpriced listing is usually after it has sold. A monitor that checks every minute and pushes within seconds is the whole product.
eBay pays us, not you
eSnipe is a member of the eBay Partner Network. When you open a listing from an alert and buy it, eBay pays a small commission out of its own fee. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had found the listing yourself. That commission covers the servers, so there is no subscription, no trial and no paywall on any feature.
This is also why the affiliate disclosure sits at the top of every page. It's not affiliated with or endorsed by eBay.
Alerts only. You do the buying.
eSnipe never bids, snipes, makes offers or buys on your behalf, and it never asks for your eBay login. It watches public search results and tells you the moment something matches. Everything after that happens on eBay, in your own account, at your own pace. If you're looking for an auction sniper, that's a different product — see eSnipe.app vs eSnipe.com.
Bugs, feature requests, or a correction to a guide: the support page has the Discord and email. Corrections to a competitor comparison are especially welcome — every fact on those pages is dated, and I'd rather fix it than be wrong.
Try it on a search you actually care about.
