tools or hacks?

[Anonymous]

how does a buyer purchase an item 4 mins before i see it appear on the selling page..is my computer or a slow internet speed,,or is a buyer using tricks,tools ect..i see so many items sold 4-5 mins before it appears?.thus never giving me a chance...

These buyers set up searches using certain key words to find things they are inerested in and get notifications wen items appear.

Ebay servers are often not instant but notifications are sent before they actually appear on the site.Using a link sent with the notification they buy so when you see it go live minutes later it says "this listing has ended".

Iv'e done this myself many times.

it's not a 'hack' it's a perfectly legit way to use the site, you set up a search for an item you want to buy and you get sent a link as soon as the item is listed
