eBay app up for grabs in Mac App Store

eBay auctioneers unite! A new eBay app just became available on the Mac App Store to help you search for bargains.

The eBay app (free) doesn't have seller capabilities, so if you're planning on making your first billion by selling stuff online, you'll still need to get another app like GarageSale or stick to using the horrific eBay website. The eBay app has very few reviews so far on the App Store, most of which are griping about the inability to sell items through the app.

The app is very useful for searching, saving searches, and watching auctions, and takes up very little real estate on your Mac desktop. I found it to be quick in terms of response time, much faster than what I usually see when using the eBay website with Safari.

The watch list under the My eBay tab in the app is quite interesting, as it updates about every five seconds and displays last minute bid changes without needing to manually refresh. If you're a Mac-owning fan of eBay and love to pick up bargains online, the eBay app is definitely worth the download.

Well the best part of the app is that you don't see ads which you actually don't want to see. User interface is neat and clean (see screen shots http://goo.gl/hXzJo) . Easy to understand and navigate. Looking forward for eBay's iPad app too.

Maybe it's just me, but an app of a web site on a full blown computer seems a little weird.

Links to the actual app would be more useful than linking to tags. FYI.

Unfortunately, it is often the way TUAW and their sister blogs work. The "Source" link below the article will get you where you want to go.
