New eBay game console listings, sent to your inbox

Most people type „PS5“ into eBay, scroll the same results every night and still miss the bundle that sold an hour after it went up, so let your inbox do the looking instead.

3 steps

Set up in a minute

  1. Search on eBay, sort by newest

    Narrow the console search on eBay

    Start in Video Games & Consoles and pick the console family rather than typing a loose word. Set the condition you accept, a price ceiling in dollars, and choose Buy It Now if you hate waiting on auctions. Use item location or the ships-to filter so the results can actually reach you, then sort by Newly listed and copy the link from the address bar.

  2. Copy the link, paste it into mxsender

    Give the link to MXSender and pick email

    Paste the eBay address on the MXSender website or send it to our Telegram bot, choose email as the channel and confirm the address. Telegram can be switched on for the same search later if you want both.

  3. New listings land in your inbox

    Read one mail per check

    When a check finds new consoles, you get a single email that lists all of them: title, price, a link straight to the eBay page and a photo when the seller provides one. Checks that find nothing send nothing.

The mistake of watching „PS5“ and nothing else

A search for one word pulls in cases, controllers, empty boxes and listings for games that merely mention the console. You end up skimming hundreds of rows, and the alert you get is noise. Spend two minutes on the filters instead: the console category, used or refurbished, a price you would really pay, and Buy It Now if you want to decide on the spot.

Separate searches beat one wide one. A disc-edition PS5, a Switch OLED and a boxed Game Boy Advance are three different hunts with three different fair prices; give each its own link and each mail stays readable.

What a cross-border console needs before you pay

eBay.com shows sellers from everywhere, so check the item location and the shipping cost to your country before you get excited about the price. A cheap console from another continent can cost more once postage and any import duties or VAT charged on arrival are added.

Then the console itself: ask whether it is signed out of the seller’s account, whether controllers drift, and which region the bundled games are for. Read the seller’s feedback and the return policy, and remember that eBay runs a buyer protection programme for purchases that go wrong; read its terms rather than assuming.

One digest with your morning coffee

Email suits the buyer who does not want another buzzing chat. Each mail is a short list you can scan in a minute, file into a folder called Consoles, and search later when you want to compare what a Switch Lite went for last month.

Where the mail lands is up to your provider. After the first match, look in spam or a Promotions tab, mark it as wanted and add the sender to your contacts. Every mail has an unsubscribe link.

Plans that fit a console hunt

Free covers one search checked every 30 minutes and one email address. Starter, $5.99, covers five searches every 10 minutes, still one address. Pro, $14.99, covers twenty searches with the fastest checks and up to three addresses, handy if a sibling wants the same mails.

❓Frequently asked questions

Will I get an email when an auction is about to end?

No. The mail is about new listings appearing in your search, auctions and Buy It Now alike, not about end times or bid changes.

Can I watch a retro console and a current one at the same time?

Yes, as two searches. Free covers one, so the second needs Starter or Pro.

Do the prices show in my currency?

The mail shows the price as your eBay search displays it; open the listing for the exact amount, shipping and any local-currency estimate.

Does MXSender bid or buy for me?

No. You get the alert; bidding, buying and talking to the seller all happen on eBay.

What happens to the listings already in my search?

The first check notes what is there and skips it, so the mails only carry consoles listed after you added the search.
