Behind the scenes
How Snatch It works
The whole point is that you don't have to do anything after setup. Here's exactly what's happening automatically.
Save a search
Give your search a name and the keywords you want matched — a specific card, a rare pressing, a particular set. Be as precise as you can; the more specific the keywords, the fewer irrelevant results you'll see.
We scan automatically, around the clock
Once a search is saved, Snatch It checks eBay on its own — no need to keep the site open, and no need to click anything. Scanning runs continuously in the background, checking the one marketplace tied to your account — choose from 11 eBay sites including the US, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, and Japan (set at signup, changeable anytime in Settings).
You're notified the moment something matches
As soon as a new listing matching your search appears, you get a push notification straight to your device with the photo, price, marketplace, and a direct link to the listing. You can toggle notifications on or off for each individual search in Settings.
Pin the ones you care about
To keep your list fresh, any match you haven't pinned is automatically cleared out after 7 days. Tap the star on a listing to pin it and keep it forever, even after it would otherwise be removed.
Filter by marketplace or by pinned
Every search page has quick filter tabs — see everything, just one marketplace, or just your pinned matches.
