Saved Searches not getting emails? Try this!

Here's what I used to fix my SAVED SEARCH not getting daily emails problem that started in late September 2023 for some users.  Should also work anytime this issue comes up -- been buying and selling on eBay 23+ years, it happens, don't wait on a fix.


Go to My eBay dropdown on the top right of any page and select Saved Searches. Then for EACH active search, click on More Options on the right side of the page, and select Stop Email Alerts. Then wait for a few hours (I waited 8 hours, and I also signed out and signed back in to eBay during this time) and go back to the same place again and select Get Email Alerts for every search you want activated. This should fix the problem on the next round of emails.

This will also give you a chance to clean up some old searches you no longer want. Happy searching and buying!

There is no "More Options" choice available on the Saved Searches page.   There is a "More Actions" choice for each Saved Search, but there is no "More Options" choice on the page and thus there's no "Get Email Alerts" for all saved searches.

Correct, they have changed the wording to "More Actions" in the last year or so, but the idea and location is the same.  There is no option for "Get Email Alerts" for ALL the searches at once, you have to do EACH one individually.  It's a pain, but so is not getting the emails that you signed up for.
