Adding Listings

Last updated April 2026

Supported URL Formats

BidWatch supports eBay listing URLs from any regional site, including:

ebay.com — United States
ebay.co.uk — United Kingdom
Other regional sites — ebay.de, ebay.fr, ebay.com.au, and more
Shortened URLs — ebay.us/... links shared from the eBay app

BidWatch auto-detects the item ID from any valid eBay listing URL, so you do not need to worry about formatting.

How to Add a Listing

Click the Add button (+) in the toolbar to open the URL input field.

Paste the eBay listing URL into the input field.

Press Enter or click the Add button to fetch the listing. On mobile, pasting a URL will auto-fetch the listing immediately.

Auto-Add

When you paste an eBay URL, BidWatch can automatically start fetching it without needing to press Enter. This makes adding listings faster — simply paste and the listing begins loading straight away.

Auto-Retry

If a fetch fails due to network issues or eBay being temporarily unavailable, BidWatch will automatically retry the request. You do not need to manually re-add the listing — just wait and BidWatch will handle it.

After Adding

Once added, the listing card appears showing the title, image, current price, bid count, and a countdown timer to the auction end time. You can click the info button (i) on any card to see more details about the listing.

Tip: Empty slots show as ghost cards, giving you a visual sense of available space. As you add more listings, the grid fills up with your tracked items.
