(Note: This is a standalone part of my other script to show eBay items on a map: eBay on Google Maps)

Alert only bargains: A maximum TOTAL price can be specified (- not possible using eBay's "Save this search").
Be alerted first: Checks for new items every hour. (eBay checks at most once a day meaning you may miss out on the best bargains if someone else gets there first).
Visual emails: Photos and important details for each matching eBay item included in the emails.
Mapping links: Links for showing the items on a map included in the emails. There are also links for unsubscribing or resubscribing.




The script adds an "Email Alerts (ASK)" link to the eBay search results pages, as highlighted in the red circle above. Clicking on this causes the Email Alerts options dialog box to pop up. Here a maximum total price for the matching items can be specified and the "buy it now only" checkbox can be ticked to only include items with a Buy It Now price.

The "supercharged" email alerts are powered by AuctionSearchKit, which also allows eBay items to be displayed on a map: http://www.auctionsearchkit.co.uk

Note: The "Email Alerts (ASK)" link will only appear on the search results page once it has fully loaded.

Note: The amounts in red are Buy It Now price and Buy It Now total.
