We earn a small commission through eBay's Partner Network when you buy through links sent by eSnipe. That covers the cost of running the service, so you don't have to. There are no hidden fees and no plan to add them.
No. Prices on eBay are exactly the same whether you arrive via eSnipe or directly. The affiliate commission comes from eBay, not from your pocket.
Each search you create can have its own Discord webhook URL. When a matching listing is found, eSnipe posts a message to that channel with the title, price, condition, and a direct link to view it on eBay. You can route different monitors to different channels — Pokémon to one, sneakers to another — for free.
Yes — eSnipe is on the App Store and Google Play. Install it, sign in with the same account, and your monitors push native notifications to your phone the moment a matching listing posts. Works alongside Discord (or instead of it).
eSnipe polls eBay continuously. Most matching listings reach your channel within seconds of going live. The exact lag depends on how often eBay's search index updates — usually 15-45 seconds.
Yes — there's no cap. Create as many searches as you need, each with its own keywords, filters, and Discord webhook (or a push to your phone).
No. eSnipe monitors public eBay search results, so it never needs your eBay credentials. You'll only need an eBay account when you decide to buy something.
