# eBay alerts for used PCs and parts — with the price checked | PathAu

> eBay saved searches tell you something was listed, not whether it's a good price. PathAu checks new eBay UK listings about every minute and prices every part from real UK sales.

# eBay alerts that tell you if the price is good

A saved search on eBay tells you something new was listed. It doesn't tell you whether the price is good, and a used PC listing names half a dozen parts you'd have to price one by one.

## What PathAu does

- Checks every new used PC and PC part listing, day and night.
- Splits a PC into its parts and prices each one from what it actually sold for on eBay UK.
- Sends you only the ones below their value, with how far under its value each one is.
