## Review summary

Users appreciate eFerret's ability to notify new eBay listings and the attentive developer support. However, many report slow or delayed notifications, issues with filtering options like location and item condition, and outdated results showing sold items. Currency mismatches and occasional glitches also diminish the experience, though overall it remains a helpful free tool for eBay alerts.

### Pros

- Effective in providing new listing notifications for eBay items.
- Developer is responsive and fixes issues promptly when contacted.
- Good for finding bargains and items users might otherwise miss.
- Offers filtering options for categories and item conditions.
- Free app with practical features for eBay alerts.

### Cons

- Notifications are often delayed or too slow, causing users to miss deals.
- Cannot effectively block sellers or filter by location, leading to irrelevant results.
- Sold or removed items continue to appear in search results until manually refreshed.
- Currency and marketplace settings sometimes don’t apply correctly (e.g., showing USD when GBP is selected).
- Limited functionality in filtering, such as only allowing one condition or brand selection, reducing usefulness.
