can we have the app link to our alarm

I have constantly lost auctions because i forgot about them, then i find a "auction ended time 00:00" in my drop down notifications 

 

I need to be actually ALERTED, how about allowing us to determine when sale is nearly over eg 5 or 10 minutes to have an alarm go off. Im sick of losing out on products

The eBay app has notification options available; unless you have disabled them, you should be able to receive a notification when an auction on your Watch List is within 15 minutes of ending.

 

See here for some general troubleshooting info for notifications:

 

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Android-App/Troubleshooting-Notifications-No-notifications-No-cha-chin...

 

Since that thread was started, eBay has added a notification diagnostic to the eBay app under Settings: Notifications -- try that if you are not receiving notifications.

 

If you use a Battery Saver or optimization feature, be sure to exempt the eBay app; otherwise, the battery saver may put the eBay app to sleep, preventing notifications from being sent until you start up the app again.

It's a pain, isn't it! Have had eBay Android Help looking into this for 3 months now, and still no resolution. I depend on being notified when auctions are about to end, for my small business, but I may have to sell up as I cannot just stare at my phone for hours waiting for an item to come up.
