Enhancements to Alerts If you’ve recently upgraded to the latest version of eBay Toolbar, perhaps you’ve already noticed the changes to the desktop alerts. For starters, there’s now a picture of the item in the alert. From the alert, you can click the button to go the item page, you can click the “Snooze “ button for the alert to come up again later, or you can simply click the “X” to close the alert. Here is an example of an alert for an item that is ending soon.
More Alerts There are now more alerts for buying and selling. Here is a list of the new alerts recently added to eBay Toolbar.
- Item won/not won alert -– You’ll be notified when you win or didn’t win items. You'll be alerted shortly after items that you're bidding on or watching end.
- Item sold/not sold alert -– The same goes for items you’re selling. You'll see alerts on your desktop when your listings end, letting you know if the item sold or not.
- Ask Seller a Question alert -– Sellers will now be alerted when a buyer has a question pending.
- Second Chance Offer received alert -– Buyers will now be instantly notified when a seller makes them a Second Chance Offer on an item.
- Best Offer received/accepted alert -– Sellers will be alerted when a buyer makes a Best Offer on an item they are selling, and buyers will be alerted if a seller chooses to accept their Best Offer.
Setting Options for Alerts You have the ability to specify which alerts you would like to receive using the eBay Toolbar Options dialogue box. To get to the eBay Toolbar Options dialogue box, click the “Toolbar Options” link under the eBay logo. From here you can also make changes to the alert settings. (For example, you can change the amount of time before you are alerted from 10 minutes to as many as 75.) Please note that the dialog box may open behind your browser window. Minimize the window you’re using to see the dialogue box.
Here is what the Alerts and Sign-in dialogue box looks like:
