Using the eBay Toolbar lets you monitor items even when you're not on eBay. You can receive alerts and view your buying and selling status from your desktop.

Receiving desktop alerts

The Alerts button on the eBay Toolbar provides notifications so you do not miss your opportunity to purchase an item.

You can receive the following desktop alerts:

• Bidding Alerts for items you're bidding on that are ending soon.

• Watch Alerts for items you're watching that are ending soon.

• Outbid Alerts when you're no longer the highest bidder so that you can bid again, or look for another item to bid on.

• Second Chance Offers on items you didn't win.
