BEST EBAY TOOL EVER!!!!!!

Yeah it really ruined ebay imho.  Back when the service was new you couldn't snipe... nobody had a fast enough connection.  But now people who actually want/need something are stepped on by people that usually just want to get something cheap enough to where they can re-sell it. 

EBay's watch alert could really be improved though.  I'll put something on watch and I'll get an alert sometime of the day the auction ends... which is great if I happen to check my email at that time, otherwise I get it too late.  They need an alert system that bugs the crap out of you for days leading up to the end.

I don't know if EBays official app does this, but I use one called Pocket Auctions and it sends an alert to my phone when any item I'm watching is 10 minutes away from ending.  I've found this to be extremely useful.

Official app does send a notification. You can even specify the number of minutes before auction end to be reminded.

Edit :this is the android version I'm referring to. Not sure of iPhone or any other os.

The iOS version of the eBay app does indeed send an alert to you when a watched auction is about to end (assuming you turned notifications on).

I've been using eSnipe for many years now.  Works well.  Small charge but I usually save by using it so no biggie.
