I vaguely remember seeing something about Personal Shopper on eBay. Something like setting it up to do automatic searches and having the results emailed to you daily. I know I've seen it somewhere but can't find it now. Does anyone know if this still exists and how to set it up?
Personal Shopper no longer exists, but IMO they've improved it. You used to be able to save only 3 different searches, and now you can save 15!!! (You can only get e-mail reminders on 3 of them, though.)
Do a search for whatever item you want. At the bottom of the page, there is a link you can click to save that search in your "Favorites." Once you have saved all the searches you want, go to the "Favorites" tab on your "My eBay" page. Your searches will all be listed there. You can choose 3 of them for e-mail notification (eBay will e-mail you as often as daily to let you know what new listings come up). NOTE: when you click on "Search" from the Favorites page, the list will appear with items ending first. The old Personal Shopper listed with new items first, which I liked better--now I have to do an extra click!
This feature is useful when you have a very specific search with many keywords. It saves a lot of time when browsing for your favorite items!

Thanks so much for replying. I see now why I continued to overlook what was right in front of me the entire time. Changes, changes, changes. Favorite Searches does look promising.

You're welcome...I've gotten a lot of good advice from these threads, and I'm happy to help someone else when I can.
