💰 Profit Calculator

How does the profit calculator work?

DealHawkHQ compares the listed price against recent eBay sold prices for similar items, then deducts estimated eBay fees and shipping to give you a net profit estimate.

How accurate are the profit estimates?

Estimates are based on recent eBay sold data and typical fee structures. They are a guide — always verify before purchasing.

🎯 Sniper Alerts

What are Sniper Alerts?

Sniper Alerts notify you a set number of minutes before an eBay auction ends, so you can place your bid at the last moment. You stay in full control — DealHawkHQ never bids on your behalf.

How do I set up a Sniper Alert?

Find an auction on eBay, paste the URL into DealHawkHQ, choose how many minutes before the end you want your alert, and save it. We handle the rest.
