WitchHazel Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Ebay has not been sending out "saved searches" emails for a few days now. It seems to be to do with the amount of traffic they are receiving with password change requests (following the security breach). I bet this has a big impact on the number of Ebay transactions! I just thought I'd post here in case you hadn't noticed and, like me, actively rely on the saved search emails to prompt you when items you are interested in are posted.

Bramble Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 THat's interesting, thanks! I tried to set up a new saved search yesterday, but couldn't find the "little blue button" to do it - wonder if they've stopped letting users set up saved searches?

WitchHazel Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 You can do it, but it's a bit more convoluted now. First you have to click on the "Follow this serch" label That puts the search in your Ebay feed,= (which is also currently disabled by the way), but it doesn't mean you get emails. To get the emails you have to tick the box in the pop up window that pops up: Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlina Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I usually get about 10 'saved search' emails a day, but didn't get any at all over the weekend. They seem to be arriving today though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes, mine have restarted now. I guess the traffic from millions of people changing their passwords has reduced, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
