eBay Integrates Skype in Auction Alert System
Published August 6th, 2007
Watched Item reminders – Skype will remind you 15 minutes before a listing you’re watching in My eBay is about to end.
Outbid alerts – if you’re outbid on a listing, you can still keep the item from getting away, because Skype will instantly let you know.
You can sign up for alerts on your Skype account, either from the Notifications Tab under the Preferences section in My eBay, or directly from an item page. Just find the text about getting alerts on the item page (it’s towards the center), and click the “IM” link.
You only have to sign up for Skype Alerts once – after you sign up to receive a Skype alert for one item, you’ll get them for all your Watched Items or for items you’ve been outbid on.
