Real-time eBay alerts, the second a listing posts
09:41:02 listed09:41:19 alerted+17s
Tell eSnipe what you're hunting for, connect Discord or your phone, and matching eBay listings land in your channel within seconds — not in tomorrow's email digest.
Why eBay's own alerts are too slow
eBay's saved-search emails batch up and arrive hours later, long after the underpriced listing sold. eSnipe polls eBay continuously and pushes the moment a match appears, so you're reacting in seconds instead of finding out the next morning.
Set a search, pick a channel, done
Every alert starts as a normal eBay search — your keywords, your filters. Add the price range, condition, and listing type you care about, drop in negative keywords to skip the junk, and route it to Discord, your phone, or both.
- Unlimited searches — no cap, no tiers
- Price-range, condition, and Buy-It-Now / auction filters
- Negative keywords to mute reprints, fakes, and 'for parts' listings
- One Discord webhook per search, so each hunt has its own channel
Built for people who move fast
Resellers flipping inventory, collectors chasing graded pieces, and deal hunters watching for price mistakes all use the same edge: seeing the listing first. eSnipe needs no eBay account because it watches public search results, and it's free forever.
Example monitors for eBay alerts
Paste the keywords into a new monitor, set the filters shown, and adjust the price ceiling to your market.
Switch OLED console
- Search keywords
- Nintendo Switch OLED console
- Filters
- Buy It Now · Any condition · under $220
- Negative keywords
- dock only, joy con only, box only, for parts, not working
A broad, high-volume search that shows what a first alert looks like: consoles under $220 list all day and sell within the hour.
Le Creuset 5.5 qt
- Search keywords
- Le Creuset dutch oven 5.5
- Filters
- Buy It Now · Any condition · under $180
- Negative keywords
- lid only, knob, mini, cocotte
Retail is $400+, so a $180 ceiling only alerts on the wedding-gift resales that get snapped up before the morning email digest.
