What you can watch

For specific items, models, and saved searches.

TruffleHunt watches eBay search results — the same search shape you already build by hand, running on a schedule. Point it at a narrow query and it tells you the moment a matching listing shows up.

Camera model + max price

Watch a specific body or lens under a target price — the moment one is listed inside your range, you know.

Rare auto part + condition

OEM part numbers, used take-offs, exact fitments with a condition filter that keeps rebuilds out.

Sneaker size + colorway

A single size and colorway, Buy It Now only, so you only hear about the pairs you can actually flip.

Collectible card grade

A graded card, sealed set, or vintage variant — narrow the search and catch new listings first.

Buy It Now only searches

Filter to fixed-price listings only, so a new match you can buy on the spot reaches you without the wait of an auction.

How it works

How eBay new listing alerts work.

01

Build the search on eBay

Use eBay directly: type your keywords, set condition, price range, Buy It Now, and region until the results are exactly what you want to catch.

02

Paste the search URL into TruffleHunt

Drop the search URL in and it becomes a hunt. The filters carry over where eBay’s Browse API supports them — no spreadsheet, no scraping.

03

Get alerted when a new matching listing appears

TruffleHunt re-runs the search on your cadence, remembers every listing it has seen, and pings you with photo, total cost, seller trust, and a direct eBay link on the first new match.

TruffleHunt preserves the filters from your search URL where eBay's API supports them. After the hunt is created you can add negative keywords and seller filters to keep the noise out — and pipe the same hunt into eBay search monitoring for ongoing coverage.

The workaround

Why this beats eBay saved searches.

eBay's own saved-search emails often arrive late or bundled once a day. TruffleHunt is built for active sourcing, and every alert carries the context you need to act.

FAQ

eBay new listing alert questions.

Can I create an alert for a specific eBay item?

You create the alert from an eBay search, not a single item page — TruffleHunt watches eBay search results. Narrow the search all the way down (exact model number, condition, a tight price range, Buy It Now only) and it behaves like a specific-item alert: the moment a matching listing appears, you're notified. It never scrapes individual item pages.

Can I use eBay filters like condition and max price?

Yes. Build the search on eBay with whatever filters you already use — keywords, condition, price range, Buy It Now, region — and paste the URL. TruffleHunt preserves those filters where eBay's official Browse API supports them. After the hunt is created you can add negative keywords and seller-trust filters to cut the noise even further.

How is this different from eBay saved searches?

eBay saved-search emails often arrive late or bundled once a day, with no price context. TruffleHunt is built for active sourcing: it polls your search on a cadence (as fast as every minute on Hunter Pro; polling interval depends on plan), remembers every listing it has already seen, and sends a rich alert with total landed cost, seller trust, and a direct eBay link the moment a new match shows up.

Can I get alerts in Discord?

Email new-listing alerts are available on every plan. Hunter and Hunter Pro can also route alerts to Discord or Telegram and mix the channels available to their plan.

Is TruffleHunt affiliated with eBay?

TruffleHunt is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by eBay. It uses eBay’s official Browse API with sanctioned developer credentials. It does not scrape eBay, automate purchases, bid, or log in as a buyer.
