Auction Alerts

Auction Alerts automatically notify you by Email when items that meet your criteria are posted.   You may set Alerts for Auctions that contain specific keywords or you can set Alerts for new listings from a particular seller.  You can narrow these alerts to a particular price range or category (Remember, categories are "nested"; Parent categories will also display any new listings in their sub-categories).  You can also choose to make any or all of your Alerts "public".  If a user decides to not make their Alert public, they will still receive notifications when items are posted matching their criteria, but other users will not be able to see their Alert. This can be useful if a user does not want to influence the pricing of an item a potential seller found in the Public Alert list. However, a benefit to setting an Alert to public is that it may encourage other users to post a matching item.  Alerts last 30 days and then they expire and must be relisted.  You may delete an Alert at any time.

To register your Alert, you must enter a Title/Description Keyword and/or Seller User Name. All other fields are optional. Note that your Keywords can be a maximum of 255 characters. You will be notified when items are posted if they contain all of the Keywords in the exact order you entered them and if they also match all of your other criteria.
