Rover for eBay – Watchlist, Auction Alerts & Selling Side Panel

Rover is a free Chrome side panel for eBay — watchlist tracking, live auction countdowns, colour-coded tags, cross-marketplace search, outbid alerts, and a Selling tab for your own listings, offers, and sales. One keystroke opens it. It stays docked while you browse. Rover is independent. We're not affiliated with eBay Inc. We just love a tidy buying and selling experience and we built the tool we wanted to use. ──────────────────────────────────── WHAT YOU CAN DO ▸ eBay search across every marketplace Type once, get autosuggest results, hit enter, land on eBay's normal results page in a new tab. Switch from eBay US to UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, BE, AT, CH, IE, PL, CA, AU, HK, MY, or SG with a single dropdown — no re-typing, no hunting for the right country domain. ▸ eBay watchlist tracking in your side panel Sign in to eBay once, and Rover pulls your watchlist straight into the side panel. Cards show price, time left, seller, condition, free-shipping flag, and a clean image — exactly the things you actually look at before clicking. Cross-currency? Rover converts and shows your home-currency estimate inline. ▸ Colour-coded tags to organise watched items Build your own tag library — "kitchen reno", "vintage typewriters", "gifts for Mum", whatever your shopping brain is doing — pick a colour for each, drag-tag onto items, and instantly filter. Tags sync across every device you sign in on, so the watchlist on your laptop matches the one on your work computer. ▸ Auction tracker for active bids and Buy It Now The Buying tab surfaces active auctions, Buy It Now reservations, and recently-purchased items separately. See bid status at a glance, jump back to a listing in one tap. ▸ Selling tab for your active listings, offers, and sales Sign in and Rover surfaces your own eBay listings right alongside your buying activity. Active listings show views, watchers, offers, and promoted-ad rate; sold items show shipping status and what you earned; items that ended without selling are flagged for relisting. Unanswered buyer questions surface so nothing slips through. Each card's menu jumps you straight to the right eBay action — view offers, answer questions, revise or end a listing, set a minimum offer, mark as shipped, print a label, message a buyer, or relist — and Copy link grabs a shareable URL in one tap. ▸ Outbid and ending-soon auction alerts Turn on push notifications and Rover pings you when an auction you're in is about to end or you've been outbid. Token-based, no spam. ▸ Cross-currency pricing and buyer-fee disclosure Cross-currency conversions, buyer-fee disclaimers for affected marketplaces, original-vs-discounted pricing — formatted the way a human reads it, not the way eBay's API spits it out. ▸ One-keystroke side panel access Cmd+Shift+E (or Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows / Linux) opens the side panel from any tab. The side panel stays put across page navigations, so it doesn't disappear every time you click a result. ──────────────────────────────────── WHY A SIDE PANEL The side panel is Chrome's hidden superpower for shopping. It stays docked while you compare listings, read reviews, or paste links into chat. You don't lose context tab-hopping. You don't lose your spot. And unlike an extension popup, it doesn't close the moment you click somewhere else. Rover was built side-panel-first. Every screen — search, watchlist, buying, selling, tags, settings — is laid out for that narrow column. No awkward stretched-out modals, no responsive guesswork. ──────────────────────────────────── NO ADS, NO TRACKING We don't make money by selling your data: - No session recording. No keystroke capture. No form-content capture. - No advertising cookies. No third-party tracking pixels. - Anonymous usage analytics only — a random device ID, your marketplace, a "signed in: yes/no" flag, and the usage events listed in full at roverextension.com/privacy. Never your eBay username or email. - Your watchlist and listing data stay in your browser. Tags are stored under a pseudonymous token derived from your eBay account with a server-side secret — it's not your username, it's never shared with anyone, and you can wipe it from Settings → Privacy & data. - Toggle analytics off at any time in Settings → Privacy & data. Full disclosure of every event we capture lives at roverextension.com/privacy — including what we sync, what we don't, and how to opt out of each piece. ──────────────────────────────────── SUPPORTED MARKETPLACES Rover works across every major eBay marketplace: 🇺🇸 United States · 🇬🇧 United Kingdom · 🇩🇪 Germany · 🇫🇷 France · 🇮🇹 Italy · 🇪🇸 Spain · 🇳🇱 Netherlands · 🇧🇪 Belgium · 🇦🇹 Austria · 🇨🇭 Switzerland · 🇮🇪 Ireland · 🇵🇱 Poland · 🇨🇦 Canada · 🇦🇺 Australia · 🇭🇰 Hong Kong · 🇲🇾 Malaysia · 🇸🇬 Singapore Switch marketplaces from the toolbar — search, autosuggest, watchlist, Buying, and Selling all retarget instantly. ──────────────────────────────────── SUPPORTED LANGUAGES Rover's interface is fully translated into: English · Deutsch · Français · Español · Italiano · Nederlands · Polski The extension reads your Chrome language and switches automatically. No manual setting required. ──────────────────────────────────── FREE — AND HOW WE STAY FREE Rover earns a small commission from eBay through eBay Partner Network when you buy something after clicking through from the extension. You pay the same price either way; eBay shares a referral fee with us. This is how we keep Rover free and ad-free. Outbound clicks are attributed transparently — there's a "How Rover is funded" row in Settings → About that explains the model in plain language. The disclosure also appears as a short notice each time you sign in, and beneath the sign-in button when you're signed out. We do not show banner ads. We do not insert sponsored listings. We do not sell your data. The affiliate model is the entire business model. ──────────────────────────────────── FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ▸ Do I need to sign in to eB…
