eBay Price Tracker
On eBay, prices are set by thousands of individual sellers, so the same item can be listed at very different prices – and fixed-price offers are adjusted regularly. Add the listing you're interested in to SaleAlarm and get an email when the seller lowers the price.

What you should know about eBay
eBay, founded in 1995 in the US, is one of the largest online marketplaces in the world. Private sellers and businesses sell new and used items, either by auction or at a fixed "Buy It Now" price. Many listings also accept a "Best Offer", so you can propose a lower price to the seller.
Because every seller sets their own price, the same product can be listed at very different prices – and sellers regularly lower fixed prices when an item doesn't sell. With SaleAlarm you track a specific listing and find out as soon as the seller reduces it.
SaleAlarm tracks the price of one specific listing. When an auction ends or the item is sold, there's nothing left to track – so for popular products it's worth following several listings, ideally from sellers who have more than one item in stock.
When does eBay have sales?
These are the most important sale periods for eBay. Set your alarm a few weeks before – then you know the normal price and can recognise a real discount.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday
Saving tips for eBay
Auctions end at an unpredictable price, so SaleAlarm works best with fixed-price ("Buy It Now") listings. Track two or three listings of the same product from different sellers to catch the cheapest one.
If a listing accepts offers, make one below the asking price – especially when the item has been listed for a while.
Check the item condition, shipping costs and the seller's feedback score before you buy: the cheapest listing isn't always the best deal.
