eAuctionAlerts Blog

Now that we’ve successfully launched got have gotten some good press, we’re actively looking for sites to partner up with to help continue to grow eAuctionAlerts and attract more users who can  benefit from our service! If you have an eBay site or a text messaging site and would like to know more, drop us a line.

We had one of our biggest users create a basic “How To” viral video for YouTube after our launch on Tuesday. The user walks you through the 4 simple steps needed to setup a text message alert for any eBay auction, giving a nice overview of eAuctionAlerts. We thought it was a pretty cool video and a good way to get the site out there, so you might be seeing more of these viral videos on YouTube, and other popular online video sites, in the near future.

June 19, 2007 — Today eAuctionAlerts.com is proudly launching the first free service to remind people when their specified eBay auctions are about to end, by sending a free alert via SMS text message. eAuctionAlerts helps eBay users who like to bid in the last few minutes of an auction, a very common practice on the world largest online auction site, but tend to forget. Until now there were no free solutions to receive eBay auction alerts.

eBay’s paid service costs $0.25 per auction for mobile alerts via text message. However, eAuctionAlerts is completely free to its users. eAuctionAlerts currently does not require any registration, and is fast and easy to use, with everything done on one page. eAuctionAlerts even allows people to choose how soon before the end of an auction they would like to be alerted. eAuctionAlerts can even be used on eBay.co.uk and most of eBay’s other international properties.

eAuctionAlerts currently supports almost every wireless carrier in the United States and Canada, meaning eAuctionAlerts is available to the tens of millions of eBay users and works even if a subscriber’s number has been ported. Currently there are plans to add additional international carriers in the near future.

eAuctionAlerts cares about its users privacy. The site does not sell or share phone numbers entered and does not spam or send any unwanted text messages to its users after the end of auctions.

Stop losing auctions by using www.eAuctionAlerts.com.
