Does anyone know a legit app or tracker that gives instant push alerts when an eBay item price drops? Ive been flipping vintage synths for a decade now and usually just sit on my watch list refreshing but I missed out on a Juno-60 last night. The seller slashed the price by 300 quid and someone snatched it before I even got the generic eBay email.
Im looking for something way faster than the native app because those notifications are always lagged. Need it to work for eBay UK specifically since thats where my gear search is focused. My budget for the next rig is around 2k so I cant afford to miss deals...

TL;DR: Try BayAlerts or similar API-based trackers. Native eBay notifications are notoriously slow due to high polling latency. I switched to using tools that tap directly into the eBay developer API because they refresh item states way faster. Specifically for the UK market, I found BayAlerts much more reliable for catching price drops in real-time. Good luck with the synth hunt, hope you get a win.
