eBay Desktop
eBay Desktop is a free software application from eBay that you can install on your own computer. It allows you to do virtually everything you can do on the eBay website and a lot more. eBay Desktop is a great alternative to the eBay website. The application uses Adobe AIR, so it will run on both Windows (XP and Vista) and Mac OS X.
Some of the best features of this snazzy desktop application include, title and description search, browsing, watching and bidding. The software even includes search feeds, item reminders and persistent filters. It automatically syncs with the eBay website in real time, so there is no need to refresh to get updated information. Your recent item cache (listings) and outbid alerts, along with other critical data, are all updated automatically.
eBay Desktop was launched in beta about a year ago. Since that time, the application has been downloaded more than 1,000,000 times and has attracted a host of raving fans. In the following video, Alan Lewis, eBay Desktop’s project manager, explains some of the benefits of the software.
eBay Desktop does a lot more than simply recreate eBay on your computer. It makes the whole eBay experience much more interactive, efficient and engaging. The following video will give a better idea of the power of eBay Desktop. The latest version of the software (1.0.6, as of this writing), includes a new interface, so there isn’t a direct correlation between the video and the software you install. However, the video will give you a good idea of the power of the application and spark some ideas about how it can help you make more money on eBay.
For help with the software, you can go to the eBay Desktop Discussion Board, which is essentially a forum that allows you to learn about the application from other eBay community members. You can search the forum for answers to your questions, which may already have been posted. Or, you can post a question. The forum is very active, so you should be able to get quick feedback from other eBay buyers and sellers.
eBay used Adobe’s AIR technology to allow eBay Desktop to do all the cool things it does, in real time. You will need to have AIR installed on your computer, before you can run eBay Desktop. However, the eBay Desktop installer will download both the AIR environment and the application itself, making the setup a piece of cake. Check out eBay Desktop and see what it can do for you.
