What does MinuteFlip actually do?
It shows what a watch has really been selling for, on the eBay page you are already looking at. A badge appears on every watch listing as you scroll, comparing the asking price against completed sales of the same model from the last 90 days. Click any badge and you see the individual sold listings behind the average, with their prices, dates and photos, so you can judge the comparison yourself instead of taking our word for it.
Where do the prices come from?
Completed eBay sales from the last 90 days: real transactions at prices buyers actually paid, not asking prices or estimated values. eBay publishes 90 days of sold history, which is why that is the window. Every sale behind an average is listed in the panel and links back to the original eBay listing, so any number MinuteFlip shows you can be checked at the source in one click.
How is this different from searching sold listings myself?
A sold search returns everything sharing a keyword: other models, spare parts,
replicas, multi-watch lots. MinuteFlip removes those before averaging, reads
the photo as well as the title, and does it on every listing automatically
rather than one at a time.
What if it can't identify the watch?
It tells you, instead of guessing. You will see the comparable sales it did find along with a note explaining what could not be confirmed, such as a reference number with no recent sales or a title too vague to pin down the model, but no single average. An average across the wrong watches is worse than no number at all, so MinuteFlip withholds it rather than sounding confident about something it cannot support.
Does it slow down eBay?
No. MinuteFlip runs quietly in the background and never modifies eBay's own page. Badges are added beside prices as listings come into view, and the work happens on our servers rather than in your browser, so scrolling stays as smooth as it was before you installed it. You can also switch automatic scanning off entirely and check listings one at a time instead.
Do you see my eBay account?
No. MinuteFlip reads listing titles, prices and photos on pages you already have open, the same information any visitor to that page can see. It cannot see your account, your bids, your purchase history, your messages or your payment details, and it never signs in as you. We do not sell data, and the only thing stored is which listings you have checked, so re-checks stay free.
What counts as a check?
One listing priced. That includes badges that appear automatically as you scroll, since each one is a real price lookup. Re-checking a listing you have already checked is free forever, on every plan, even after a MinuteFlip update changes the result. Listings we cannot price, where the watch is not identifiable or no comparable sales exist, are also free.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from inside the extension. There is no phone call, no email required and no cancellation fee. You keep full access until the end of the period you have already paid for, and nothing renews after that. Your scan history and saved results stay available on the free plan.
