If your primarily searching for Lego set numbers, there is a way of overloading
the eBay search term to catch multiple set numbers. An example ...
(7110,7111,7115,7121,7124), in Category Lego
would kick hits on any of those star wars sets. This only uses one (of three
possible) search terms to generate email. I'm not sure what the limit is on the
length of the search term, but give it a spin.
