    How eSnipe's real-time eBay alerts work

    09:41:02 listed09:41:19 alerted+17s

    Set a search once. eSnipe watches eBay around the clock and pushes every matching listing to Discord, iOS, or Android within seconds.

    How it works

    From saved search to alert in three steps.

    Two minutes to set up. Zero eBay credentials. Then you just wait for the alert.

    1. 01

      Create a monitor

      Keywords, a price ceiling, condition, listing type and the words to skip. No eBay login needed — eSnipe watches public results.

    2. 02

      Pick where it lands

      Paste a Discord webhook and send a test before you save. For your phone, install the app and sign in — every monitor pushes there too.

      For your phone, install the app and sign in with the same account. Every monitor pushes there automatically.

    3. 03

      Get the alert, seconds after it lists

      The moment a listing matches, it's in your channel with the price, condition and a one-tap link — usually within 15–45 seconds.

    Under the hood

    Why the alerts arrive in seconds, not tomorrow morning

    eBay's own saved-search emails batch up and land hours later, long after an underpriced listing has sold. eSnipe takes the opposite approach: it re-runs your search against eBay's public results continuously and pushes the moment a new match appears — so you're reacting in seconds instead of finding out the next day.

    Every monitor starts as a normal eBay search — your keywords, your filters. Add a price range, lock to a condition, choose auction or Buy It Now, and drop in negative keywords to mute reprints, fakes, and "for parts" listings. Route each monitor to its own Discord channel, to a phone push, or to both, and run as many in parallel as you like. No eBay account required, and it's free forever.

    FAQ

    Questions about setting up eBay alerts

    eSnipe re-runs each saved search against eBay's public results continuously — not on a slow email schedule. The moment a new listing matches your keywords and filters, it's pushed to your channel, usually within 15-45 seconds of the item going live.

    Each monitor takes the same keywords you'd type into eBay, plus a price minimum and maximum, a condition, a listing type (auction or Buy It Now), and negative keywords to exclude the junk. Tighter filters mean every alert is worth opening.

    To a Discord channel via a webhook you choose, to native push notifications through the eSnipe iOS or Android app, or to both at once. Delivery is set per monitor, so different searches can route to different places.

    As many as you want — there's no cap on monitors. Run a separate search for every item, category, or price band you're tracking, each with its own filters and channel.

    No. eSnipe monitors public eBay search results, so it never needs your eBay login. You only sign in to eBay when you decide to buy something an alert surfaced.
