eBay Power Search

Run hundreds of eBay searches at once — get one email with all your results

What's an eBay Power Search?

Imagine having one search that checks eBay listings for hundreds of different items — each with its own maximum price. You get one email with all your results combined. Schedule it to run automatically every day or every hour. That's a Power Search.

Power Search is ideal for collectors hunting many variations of the same theme, or resellers monitoring large lists of specific products — ISBNs, part numbers, model names, or anything else you can search on eBay.

Example: A book reseller uploads 500 ISBNs, each with a target buy price. SearchDome searches eBay for every ISBN and emails a single consolidated alert whenever any item appears below its max price.

How to Set Up a Power Search

1

Create your Power Search data file

Using a text editor like Notepad, create a plain text file. Each row contains two values separated by a pipe symbol (|): the search keyword and the highest price you are willing to pay.

Rolling Stones Hat|5.00
Rolling Stones Watch|15.00
Rolling Stones Poster|10.00
Rolling Stones Jacket|50.00

In this example, line 4 searches eBay for "Rolling Stones Jacket" priced at \$50.00 or less.

2

Upload your data file

Go to My Power Search Data and upload your pipe-delimited file into the SearchDome database. Each row becomes one individual eBay search.

3

Create a Power Search and link it to a template

Create a SearchDome search and set its Type to PowerSearch. Link it to your uploaded data file. The Power Search inherits all search settings from this template — the keyword and max price are substituted row by row from your data file when the search runs.

4

Schedule and receive results

Set your schedule (hourly, daily, etc.). When the Power Search runs, SearchDome executes one eBay search per row in your data file and delivers all matching results in a single email.
