Saved search for an item not working

[queenmab100]

I have a saved search , but I rarely receive a notification when an item that matches my saved search becomes available on ebay.  Occasionally, I'll check to see if the item is available and it almost always is, but I have not been notified of such.   I tried deleting the saved search and re-creating it but that did not help.

I have a second saved search and that seems to be working fine.  Any ideas? 

Screenshots attached.   The first one is NOT working and the second one is.  Thanks for your help.

I have seen similar complaints about the emails for eBay's Saved Searches being unreliable, or users having problems saving or deleting searches, or problems with "zombie" searches providing emails with no apparent way to delete the original search or stop the emails.

It sounds like eBay's Saved Searches are not very reliable.

You may want to explore some third-party options to receive those email alerts. Try googling automated searches ebay for some options. Last time I checked there were several available that offered up to 500 free searches per day that could be divided in different ways (a single search run 500 times per day, or 500 different searches each run once per day, or 40 searches each run once per hour, etc). If you want more searches or finer options you may have to pay, but a certain number should be free.
