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.

EBay
I'm not a fan of EBay. I've not had much luck with them. There's way too many shysters and over priced junk on there now, in my opinion. I think EBay has seen its day.
These are cool tools, if you disagree with me, however :-)
