About this app

Developed by an eBay reseller, eFerret has helped thousands of users find life-changing deals on electronics, antiques, collectibles, and more.

eFerret is a top-ranked Shopping app of 2024 for helping resellers, businesses, and bargain hunters find the best hidden deals on eBay.

To use eFerret, simply enter your search criteria, just like on eBay. Save your search, and you will receive a push notification to alert you within seconds of a new matching item being posted.

Without using a tool like eFerret, the average eBay user will constantly miss out on the best deals on eBay, which often sell within the first minutes after listing.

On average, you will see a notification 60 seconds after a new item is posted and indexed on eBay. This means in many cases, you will be the first to see these items.

Whether you're trying to find rare antiques, get a great deal on consumer items, or maximize your profit margins as a seller, eFerret is the best tool for the job.

eFerret is developed by a member of the eBay Developers Program, and is a certified eBay Compatible Application. This means eFerret is able to tap into live data from the eBay servers and present it in a way that is unique from the eBay website but much more useful for bargain-hunters, resellers, and collectors. It can alert you to new listings as fast as possible using push notifications. You will never again have to manually refresh your search to find new listings.

Unlike many other tools for eBay, eFerret is not just compatible with eBay.com, but also many regional eBay sites, including:

•Belgium (ebay.be)
•Canada (ebay.ca)
•France (ebay.fr)
•Germany (ebay.de)
•Italy (ebay.it)
•Netherlands (ebay.nl)
•Spain (ebay.es)
•Switzerland (ebay.ch)
•United Kingdom (ebay.co.uk)
•eBay Motors (motors.ebay.com)
•Many more!

When you click on links to various merchants on this site and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the eBay Partner Network.

Great app except for the fact that searches don't update automatically aka when an item sells it will still be visible in the search results field. A workaround for this is to edit your search, select advanced options, and at the bottom toggle the "find items that ship to the united states" field, and hit submit. When you view the search results again everything should be refreshed and the sold/removed items will no longer show up. Just repeat the process any time you want to refresh your search results. Other than that though this app has been great!

This app is fantastic!! I wish it would allow multiple selections ES: If searching for a CD Player, you can select categories fine... you can refine the search too....but if your interested in more than one, lets say Brand, you can only select one at a time. Sure you can work around by editing the search... but its time consuming. Other than that it's Great!! 🏆🎖👍👍

Hi, thanks for writing this review. It's been a while, and recent updates have greatly improved the app since your original review. Users are now able to select multiple item aspects from the refinements page. If you have any additional feedback, that would be greatly appreciated. Robert@ferretech.io

In my effort to find used items in good condition on eBay, I typically go to the Condition filter and choose some conditions while excluding others. I leave "New" and "For parts or not working" unchecked, and I'll typically check "Open Box", "Seller refurbished", and "Used". The reason I do this is that "Open Box" and "Seller refurbished" often simply mean that the seller has taken very good care of the item while using it and has kept the retail box. I may or may not check "Certified Refurbished" and "Not specified" depending on how wide of a net I want to cast and whether I'd rather see some false positives or miss out on false negatives. On eFerret I see that I can filter on Condition, but as far as I can tell I have to choose only one. If I choose another condition, it replaces the first condition. That greatly reduces eFerret's usefulness in my view. I have to either choose "Used" and miss out on many hits I might be interested in, or leave them all unselected and get a lot of false positives. Surely this would be an easy fix for eFerret. I hope to see it soon.

Hi Greg, thank you for your detailed review! These are excellent points. You're absolutely right, multiple condition selection should be available. The way I originally implemented it, I made the mistake of making the user select just one. There will be a new update released soon, and I'll make sure this makes it in. Thanks for using eFerret!
