New listing alerts
Your active Spotters keep checking even when this page is closed.
Your search requirements
AI helps turn your description into a search. Review the item, budget, and requirements before starting.
You decide what to buy
Open a result on eBay to review the seller, details, shipping, and current price. Spotter Otter never buys automatically.
How an eBay search alert works
Each saved search is a Spotter. It checks on your plan’s schedule and remembers listings already found.
Describe what you want
Include the model, size, color, or condition that matters, then set your maximum price. AI helps interpret the request; you confirm the details.
We watch new listings
Only listings posted after your Spotter starts are considered. Paid plans also use AI to review possible matches against your requirements.
Get the alert
View finds in Alerts or receive them by email. Uncertain results are labeled “Maybe match.” Always review the live listing before buying.
Set the details that matter
Specific requirements keep your search focused. AI can make mistakes, and a listing may omit a detail you need.
Item keywords and phrases
Minimum and maximum price
Condition and buying format
Must-include and excluded terms
Shipping or local-pickup preferences
Optional location and radius criteria
What makes a useful Spotter?
A rare collectible, a discontinued part, or a specific model below your budget. Narrow searches are easier to monitor than broad categories such as “shoes” or “furniture.”
