GetItNext on eBay with StuffAlert

StuffAlert

Ever feel like you might be missing that next great deal on eBay? Wish you could constantly monitor the site for that perfect item? Now you can!

Stuff Alert is a notification service for eBay keywords. Sign up for a free account, tell Stuff Alert what you're looking for, and it will continually search eBay to find the keywords you have specified. When a match is found, an email is sent to the address you specify. Shopping couldn't get any easier!

Click this link to receive eBay alerts through http://www.stuffalert.com.

GetItNext

Regular eBay auction browsers know the search box is often the first step in a long series of clicks and term refinements. GetItNext, an eBay-linked search site, lets searchers specify and eliminate keywords to find, say, just a "Mac Mini" and not all the cords and accessories for it. Search results come back with slightly bigger pictures and the seller's feedback visible, but the coolest feature may be the "Find a Deal" tab, which shows auctions with no bidders and less than four hours left. Screen reader users will like that each item is a header, and there aren't near as many links to navigate through to get to the search results. It's a great tool to help you become an even better eBay sniper.
