Why didn eBay Toolbar refresh my Bid Alert menu after I placed a bid on eBay?
eBay Toolbar keeps track of your bid and watched items if you are signed in to eBay Toolbar. If you are not signed in to the eBay site with a User ID that is the same as the User ID you used to sign in to eBay Toolbar, eBay Toolbar cannot synchronize information with the eBay site and therefore cannot refresh your Bid Alert or Watch Alert menus.
