Present your card to be seated.
Tell the Steward what you're hunting and your ceiling. He watches the lots, appraises each one against real sold prices, and taps your shoulder at the decisive moment. He advises. He never bids for you.
"A Leica M6 under $1,200." "Eames shells, West Coast shipping." Plain words, your ceiling. Say it once — the Steward takes it from there.
Every matching lot on eBay — including the misspelled and badly titled ones that get no bids — valued against real sold prices, around the clock. He knows what things are worth. That's the job.
One alert, at the decisive moment. He advises — the bid is always yours to place.

Entirely. The Steward reads listings through eBay's official developer API and participates in their Partner Network — eBay pays him a commission when you buy through his alerts. He works with the house, never around it.
Never. He is a steward, not a proxy. He tells you the moment is right; the bid is yours to place, in your own account. This is both good manners and the reason he'll never cost you your eBay standing.
A saved search tells you something exists. The Steward tells you what it's worth — every candidate valued against real sold prices — and he reads the listings saved searches never find: the misspelled, the badly titled, the one-photo estate lots that get no bids because nobody else sees them.
Standing Service is free, forever — three watches and a morning report. Full Service is $12 a month for unlimited watches and instant taps. Trade Service, for those who buy to sell, is $39 with margin math and the deeper sources. No contracts; leave whenever you like.
