Im trying to grab this vintage Schott leather jacket for a trip to Chicago next month, trying to stay under $150. I added it to my watchlist, but Im paranoid Im going to miss a price drop. I read online that eBay sends price drop emails, but then other threads say you only get notified if the seller sends a direct offer. Some people say you need app push notifications turned on or it doesnt work at all.
Its super confusing and honestly annoying. Do you actually get an automatic alert if the seller just lowers the listing price on a watched item, or what?
I totally agree, the eBay alert system is super annoying and inconsistent! You definitely cant trust it for a specific jacket like that. I personally use PriceDropCatch to track my watch list now. Its absolutely fantastic and sends alerts way faster than the actual app does. Definitely go that route so you dont miss out!
