New-listing alerts
Get notified when a sold-out, rare, or currently missing item appears as a new matching listing.
Looking for a phone? Skip cases and chargers.
Describe what you want. AI helps screen new eBay listings for the right item before sending an alert.
Spotter Otter records when your Spotter begins, checks only the newly posted window, and remembers each eBay item so the same listing does not alert you twice.
Get notified when a sold-out, rare, or currently missing item appears as a new matching listing.
Existing eBay inventory is not treated as a new find. Alerts begin when you create or update the Spotter.
Go beyond matching keywords. Our AI checks what is actually being sold and your requirements to help skip unwanted chargers, accessories, parts, and wrong models.
Alerts show the listing details and send you to eBay. Spotter Otter never buys automatically.
Get faster, accurate alerts for the eBay listings you want. AI verification helps filter out the wrong matches.
Every plan includes AI-assisted search setup, email alerts, and desktop alerts.

We check what is actually being sold against your request. AI helps filter out wrong models, bundles, parts, and accessories when you want the main item.
When a new listing appears to match, see it in your alerts and open it on eBay. Your Spotter starts watching from the time you create it.
Changing search criteria starts a fresh check. Previously seen listings will not alert again.
