eBay auction watching/email notification tool?

nabziF · 04-17-2007, 09:27 AM

Anyone know if there exists a tool (either a website or an OS X app or something) that can automatically refresh an eBay search and then email you with a notification when anything new appears? I've seen a few tools that will refresh the search but they won't send an email, essentially requiring that I be at that computer to immediately notice new results. And the favorite searches feature of My eBay only sends an email with new results once a day, whereas I'd prefer something closer to once every 5-10 minutes (to catch those rare Buy it Now items with really low prices). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We are currently gathering feedback on a new free eBay tool, and would be interested in the thoughts of this group.
bidCal is a free tool that allows eBay buyers to monitor relevant, upcoming auctions from inside their electronic calendars. This ensures that the avid auction watcher can identify and snipe great bargains on the items they don’t want to miss. The auction alerts themselves are delivered right into your calendar. Every item of interest is treated as a calendar event at the time the auction expires. This ensures bidders don’t miss out on any bid deadlines and can always quickly see the current bid price for items of interest.
