What is Save for Later?
Save for Later is a cart-based feature that lets you temporarily remove items from your cart without losing track of them. Unlike your Watchlist (which is for browsing and tracking auctions), Save for Later is specifically for items you were about to buy but want to hold off on.
Save for Later vs Watchlist
Items Are NOT Reserved
- β’ Buy It Now items: Someone else can purchase them while saved
- β’ Auctions: May end or get bids while you wait
- β’ There's always a risk the item may become unavailable
Features & Notifications
Price Drop Alerts
Get notified via email and in-app when saved items have price reductions. We track the price when you saved the item and alert you when it drops.
Ending Soon Alerts (Auctions)
For auction items, we'll notify you 24 hours before they end so you don't miss out. Perfect for items you want to bid on at the last minute.
Easy Move to Cart
When you're ready to buy, click "Move to Cart" to instantly resume checkout. No need to find the item again.
Status Updates
See at a glance if saved items have been sold, ended, or become unavailable. We'll clearly show you what's still available to purchase.
