Just a quick announcement to let everyone know that the ‘search’ feature at Deal Linker has been overhauled with some substantial code changes.  Some of the new ‘featurettes' included with this release include:

  • Robust search code - the core search engine now uses the same basic search algorithms used by mainstream search engines like Yahoo! and Google.
  • Faster execution - the old code would sometimes take several seconds to execute a search.  This code has been heavily optimized and runs much more quickly.
  • Search results now include associated product images as well as rating scores.
  • The newest matching deals are displayed first, so you can quickly identify those deals that are likely to still be available.

If you’re looking for something specific, you can bookmark a search result page and monitor it periodically for new deals that match your criteria.

Take a look and let me know what you all think of the new search feature.  In addition, I’m looking for general feedback about Deal Linker:  What do you like?  What can be improved?  Please feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.

eBay can be an exciting place to buy merchandise; and it can also offer a great way to make a few dollars by selling off goods that you no longer need.

Over time, eBay has developed a rich set of features that help its customers buy and sell goods.  However, a number of third party tools have popped up that can help you make the most of eBay.  These tools include:

  • PicClick – an online tool that allows users to browse eBay and Amazon visually.  They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and this tool provides an interesting way of navigating both services.
  • STUFF ALERT – Looking for something specific on eBay, but can’t find it?  Stuff Alert provides an online monitoring service that alerts you via email or SMS if an item matching your search criteria pops up.
  • Auction Bloopers – Listings with misspelled keywords typically don’t receive the same amount of traffic or attention as their properly spelled brethren. You can use this tool to ferret out auction listings that you might otherwise miss.
  • Prospector – If you’ve ever watched an eBay auction closely, you’ve probably noticed that most bids occur close to the very end of the auction.  Typically called ‘sniping’, this tactic can enable users to nail auctions at great prices.  Prospector automates this process; and also can help you search and find auction items.
