Also check if you have any filters in place - mainly location.

Yeah I've been bitten by that before too. I have no idea what the "default location" actually does, but it's annoying as hell, especially needing to manually change every saved search to "worldwide".

Not to mention that worldwide means you miss those that only sell locally... (but you could fet via proxy shipping service)
There are services that send you an INSTANT alert as soon as something pops up on ebay. Much better than the alert everyday on a fixed hour by ebay 😉

Wait what? "Worldwide" Doesn't list local sellers??

Yes, it only lists people that ship worldwide... you need to scout the local ebay sites as well 😉
Or rather local+worldwide. So on ebay.com it will list US+worldwide

When you select WorldWide is will also include local listings but only on that eBay. For a complete search you should search on all eBay sites (de/it/co.uk/ca/ie/com.au...) and also change shipping to match the local eBay country.

See, I have a similar complaint, but for the opposite reason - there's no way to default to local in eBay searches. I have to set it to "North America" every time to filter out Chinese spam.

Could you recommend any? Ebays built in alerts are pretty damn useless.
