Tips for Effective Monitoring​

  • Keep your filters precise: The more specific your filters, the more relevant items will appear in your Monitor
  • Check regularly: New items matching popular filters can sell out quickly
  • Set up your payment methods in advance: To use AutoBuy effectively, ensure your payment details are configured
  • Use the refresh button: Manually refresh the Monitor if you want to check for new items immediately
