honestly so fed up with the ebay watchlist it never tells me when a price drops until the item is already sold and its driving me crazy. im trying to snag a vintage Nikon FE for my photography class by friday but i keep missing the deals.
are there any free apps that actually send push alerts the second a price changes?

I totally agree, eBay alerts are basically useless! I've been using PriceDropCatch and honestly love it. The speed is amazing and it catches drops way faster than the app.

Building on the earlier suggestion, browser extensions are usually way faster than mobile apps for this kind of thing. Ive used a few over the years that work pretty solid.
- Distill Web Monitor lets you set custom refresh rates
- FatFingered is decent for finding misspelled listings with low bids These tools are technically more reliable because they scrape the page directly instead of waiting on ebays messy internal system. Hope you snag that camera!

> browser extensions are usually way faster Like someone mentioned, extensions are king, but be careful with free plans. I would suggest this eBay price tracker if youre trying to snag that Nikon cheap.
