Link: Free eBay Mobile Alerts By Text Message (SMS) at eAuctionAlerts.com

Just had word in from Nate at TxtDrop.com about the launch of his new eBay mobile alerts service. Called eAuctionAlerts, it offers a free service to remind people when their specified eBay auctions are about to end.

Although eBay offer a similar service, they charge $0.25 per alert - whereas eAuctionAlerts is completely free at present. It will work with most of the international eBay sites (including the UK), unfortunately they only support US and Canadian carriers right now. Nate says there are plans to add international carriers in the near future - so watch this space!
