Default E-Bay , that lil heart symbol:

I have alerts for eBay (which often send me junk.. I’m guessing it’s tied to errors in seller set up)

Wondering if others might have suggestions that work well (that you’re willing to share!


.. Okay : The biggie first ; you need to match the search terms in your My E-Bay Account Home Page Search box to all , ALL , the possible listing words a seller might even remotely use that would trigger a hit ,( and a resulting heads-up to your " My Messages.").....Ebay search no longer takes care of plurals 100% of the time so if you're using a key search word like "premium" and a seller lists a "1939 V351 Ted Williams Canadian Goudey Premiums Set Break " , you won't know about it. You're searching for "premium "... So pluralize vital terms.
,
....Sellers list cards in wrong categories a lot , A LOT, so keep the default at "all categories".....I've found amazing stuff in "other paper cutouts , ungraded " for example. Just literally have everywhere on E-Bay covered. Two of my best buys were in " collectibles vintage non-topographical postcards RPPC ball player "..amazing stuff out there , where you would not think to look.

..That's enough for now. Others will chime in , I'm sure.; Gimme a buck.
