Publisher's description of eBay Desktop

eBay Desktop is made for search, bidding, browsing, and watching. It's all there, with a brand new interface. Search feeds, item reminders, and persistent filters put you ahead of the game. Recent item cache, outbid alerts, and no need to refresh. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Note: The application will prompt you to download the Adobe AIR platform if it's not already installed.

Editor's review of eBay Desktop

Power users have in eBay Desktop the full functionality of eBay.com focused into a stellar-looking desktop application built on Adobe AIR. The wealth of browsing, bidding, buying, and watching activities shines, as do item photos, seller statistics, automated shipping calculations, search, and personalized feeds. It seems the only thing that didn't make the transition from eBay.com is the clutter. If you get lost amidst the deep, but logically-appointed listings, the prominent Home button recenters you.

If pressed to find flaws, we'd concede that there's not a ton of visual customization on eBay Desktop, and point out that users must already have an eBay account in order to use the software. Aside from that, we recommend this handsome, well-featured app to frequent eBay users without reservations.

  Appears to be great for Buyers

  by: Lunabu on 14-May-2008 02:44:52 PM

  Pros: Haven't played around with it yet but it appears to be pretty comprehensive for buyers and lookers.

  Cons: Great shame it doesn't support eBay sellers, so if you sell and buy, you still need to go back and forth between different applications.

  Once I clicked Install the lights went out

  by: willboss on 02-May-2008 01:25:28 PM

  Cons: I was delighted to see find out this app existed as I am a huge eBay fan. I downloaded the app, clicked install and bang the lights went out. By this I mean my PC just shutdown instantaneously and restarted. On restart I was greeted with a message saying my computer recovered from a serious error! Foolishly I thought it was a one off occurrence and proceeded with another install and once I clicked the words 'Install', out the lights went again!
