Frequently asked questions

FlipaMarket is a deal-alert service. You list the items you want to buy and the price range you would pay, and we check eBay for you around the clock. When a new listing appears inside your range, we email you a link to it.

Yes, creating an account and setting up alerts is free. Each member can have up to 10 alerts running at once.

We search eBay in the UK, US, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Australia and Canada using eBay's official API. Amazon is planned next.

Every active alert is checked about every 15 minutes. You can also press "Check now" on any alert to search straight away.

Yes. Each alert can look for new items only, used items only, or both.

Yes. Turn on bulk mode when you create an alert and we look for job lots, bundles and wholesale listings, and record the quantity you need. Always check the quantity in each listing before you buy.

Yes. You pick which eBay site to search and which country the item must be in, so you can stick to UK sellers and avoid import charges and long delivery times.

No. Matches are based on the item price only. Check the postage cost on the listing before you buy.

No. FlipaMarket never handles payments or orders. Every purchase is made directly with the seller on the marketplace, under that marketplace's buyer protection rules.

Every member confirms their email address, passwords are stored scrambled and never in plain text, repeated wrong passwords lock the account for 15 minutes, and you can turn on two-step login with an authenticator app.

Pause or delete any alert from your dashboard. You can delete your whole account from the Account page at any time.
