So, I've been a long time auctionsniper user, and use it for almost everything I buy on Ebay with great sucess usually.
One thing that I really want which I think Ebay does not provide timely enough is a versatile search and notify (via email or mobile messenging) of when new items are posted to Ebay that match the search criteria. Of particular use is when 'Buy it now' items are posted within a certain price range and matching (not matching) on keywords. Often, real bargains will be posted by people with a 'Buy it Now' that just want to get rid of their item. Unless you can find them very fast and search frequently, you often miss them. Ebay's search and notify mechanism I assume runs at lower priority on their servers and is sometimes not fast enough. A feature providing this via mobile messaging with search frequencies up to every 10 mins would be something I would be willing to pay for. It's something I may eventually build myself if I can't find it within the next 6 months.
