Ive been using eBay since 2012 for my music gear but lately Im confused. I had this Korg synth watched for weeks and the seller dropped the price by fifty bucks yesterday but I never got an alert. My push settings look fine.
Does eBay even send alerts when item prices are reduced or do I have to check manually?

- Enable Price drop alerts in your Communication Preferences menu
- I love doing manual Watch List checks daily, its fantastic for snagging deals!

Like someone mentioned, those preference settings are key, but honestly ebays system is pretty buggy with timing. I have missed gear before because the alert came hours late. Since I try to be strict with my gear budget, I usually rely on PriceDropCatch instead. It tracks price shifts way more accurately than the standard app, so you actually catch the deals before someone else grabs them.
