If you're a premium Paypal subscriber, they offer a winning bid notification system that contacts winning bidders with payment instructions within 1 hour of the closed auction.
There are a few other companies that offer the service. Invenna, Andade, Vrane are just a few. You can find out more by doing a Yahoo! search under these names. I'd provide you with direct links, but AuctionWatch precludes us from providing this information.

After 3 years on Ebay and roughly 1400 sales, I have found that the best e-mail notification system is...
Do it yourself.
NO confusion with bidders
NO miscommunication
NO fees to an outside service
If you really want to do a good job by your customers, DO IT YOURSELF. It takes more time, but is pretty dependable.
As a buyer, I HATE these notification systems. When you respond to the seller, half the time they are clueless about the nuts and bolts of the transaction. WHY? Because they don't have their hands in the thick of things.
