eBay Desktop is "Excellent!"

Candygram! Step into the phone booth and let me show you a preview of the future! The eBay Desktop application, formerly known to early testers as San Dimas, is here! It’s still in beta, but if you check it out now, you’ll get in early on what I know is going to be a favorite program.

eBay Desktop lets you find, watch, bid, and buy items on eBay using a desktop application. No browser required. Why would you want to do that? Power. And pure fun.

Once you download eBay Desktop, you use it to find things on eBay just as you normally would with a browser. eBay Desktop has a great way of showing watched items and favorites. But what I like most is that you can take advantage of all the disk space your computer has and go crazy with watched items and favorites. And past purchase history? The default is 1,000 items. Excellent!

I also like how search results are displayed in a graphical list down the left side, while the right side updates to show pictures and item information—much like the preview pane works in Outlook. A real-time countdown display is shown, and you can bid right there on the screen.

Listen to this dude, Alan. He knows what he’s talking about. Check out the video and learn more about  the eBay Desktop application that Alan and his team created. You’re gonna love it.

Be excellent to each other.
