Getting notified of specific new listings

[murphcrud]

Hello,

I am looking for an item that does not appear on any site on eBay.

Is there a method of having an email generated by eBay, to advise if this item ever is listed?  Sure would be helpful.

Do eBay store owners have this type of a privilege?

Who can help?

Saved searches generate email notifications when new listings are a match.

To save a search look near the top of a search results page, look for the little heart icon, clicking or tapping that icon saves the search.

How long will this saved search remain active??

I would think indefinitely but that's just a guess, not a big user of them myself, have too much email already.

I have tried this many times and still don't get notifications, at one time I used to get lots of them daily, now nothing? I have not changed anything in my emails or ebay account. Would it only apply to Canadian listings and sellers? I seem to be missing out on a whole lot of things I would have purchased.

You might do better putting your Search on dotCOM.  You won't see the items that don't ship to Canada, but you will see those using the GSP.

Anything on dotCA must ship to Canada.
