Be a better eBay bidder

By DR ⋅ March 26, 2008 ⋅  Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

Mozilla and eBay recently launched a new version of the Firefox Companion for eBay, which includes full support for the US.  You can stay connected to your eBay trading, watch items, receive alerts and search in real-time — all from the comfort and convenience of your Firefox browser, no matter what site you’re visiting.  In addition to US compatibility, the new features include drag and drop functionality and audio alerts.

Plus, you get all the goodness from the previous version:

• eBay sidebar for quick access to items you’ve bid on or are watching, updated in real-time
• Synchronization with “My eBay” information
• Status alerts about important trading events and your bid status, such as being outbid on an item or auction ending notification
• Integrated eBay auction search that makes finding, bidding, and selling easier
• And of course safer browsing, with Account Guard integration for eBay and PayPal sites and Firefox’s built-in anti-phishing protection
• Check out the full list of features here

So if you’re an eBay user, I highly recommend taking it for a test-drive.  I’ve found it quite handy.  Support for Firefox 3 is coming soon.
