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 (set at signup, changeable anytime in Settings).
You're emailed the moment something matches
As soon as a new listing matching your search appears, an email goes out with the photo, price, marketplace, and a direct link to the listing — sent to whichever address you've set as your notification email in Settings. You can toggle email alerts on or off for each individual search.
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.
