Receive timely desktop alerts to avoid getting outbid.
Don't miss out on something you really want - the eBay Toolbar will let you know the status of items you're bidding on, watching or have won via desktop or audio alerts. When an alert goes off you'll see a small pop-up window in the bottom corner of your screen and a chime will sound. Click the link on the pop-up window to go directly to the item page bid, or hit snooze and come back to it later.
Use the eBay Toolbar to get:
  • Items won Alerts to see your successful purchases that you need to pay for
  • Bid Alerts for items you're bidding on that are ending soon
  • Watch Alerts for items you're currently watching that are ending soon
  • Outbid Alerts when you're no longer the high bidder
  • Second Chance Offer Alerts when a seller wants to offer you an item you didn't originally win
  • Question Received Alerts when you receive questions from buyers.
  • Selling Alerts when your listings ends
  • Best Offer Alerts when you make or receive a Best Offer.
  • Item Ended Alerts indicating whether you've won an item.
When an alert goes off, you'll see a small pop-up window in the bottom corner of your computer monitor and a chime will sound to be sure you know something important is happening. Click the link on the pop-up window and you'll go directly to the item specific page where you can decide if you want to place a bid.
You can hit the snooze botton on an alert. If you're in the middle of something and don't have time to visit an item, just snooze the alert to remind you in a few minutes.
