Important news for sellers
If you frequently perform the same searches, you can save time by saving your searches. This way, you can run your search with a single click or receive search results automatically by email.
Search for something that interests you.
Enter two or three words that describe what you’re looking for in the search box at the top of the page and click the Search button.
To quickly narrow your search results, use the Refine search section on the left side of your search results. Your saved search includes both your search words and any search options you select.
Click the “Save this search” link at the top of your search results.
From here you can:
Name the search
Request email notification of new items that match this search. We'll send you one email a day, containing up to 20 matching items. Clear the check box if you don't want to receive any emails.
Click Save.
Once you've saved a search, you can get the search results at any time.
Click My eBay at the top of most eBay pages.
From the Activity tab, under the Organise heading, click Saved searches.
Click the “Go to search results” link to the right of your saved search.
Tip: To see a summary of your saved search results in My eBay, rather than a separate results page, click the arrow to the left of your saved search.
From the “Go to search results” drop-down menu to the right of your saved search, choose “Sign up for emails.”
Select the option for daily email notifications and choose how long you want to get daily emails.
Click the Save button.
Locate the search you want to edit.
From the “Go to search results” drop-down menu, choose “Edit search.”
On the search results page, change your search as needed.
You can change your search words in the Find: box or select other options to refine your search.
Click the Save changes button located above your search results.
Change the search name or options you want on the “Save this search” dialog box.
Locate the search you want to delete.
From the “Go to search results” drop-down menu to the right of your saved search, choose “Delete search.”
Tip: Be sure you want to delete the search, because you won't get a safety prompt before the search is deleted.
Locate the search in the list.
From the “Go to search results” drop-down menu to the right of your saved search, choose “Add note.”
