Here's a time saver tip for eBay buyers. When you do a search that turns
up good results for items you are looking for, save the URL of the first
results page to your bookmarks or favorites. The bookmark will read - items
matching (keyword).
For example,
search
for - globe - in the category, Advertising : Gasoline, get your results
page and add the URL to your bookmarks or favorites list. Then, next time
you would like to do that specific search, just click on that bookmark -
items matching (globe) - and you'll get updated results without going to
an eBay page and filling out a form field. You can bookmark many different
searches and use them daily or whenever you like. Save a couple of minutes,
find more stuff.
A recent addition to eBay services is the
eBay
Personal Shopper. Registered users can program the shopper to search
for keywords automatically and email you the results. There is a limit of
three different searches at any given time. A convenient service for busy
users.
For those of you who have not taken advantage of the
My eBay service, you're
missing out. With this easy set-up service you can keep track of your buying
and selling auctions, feedback and do searches in your favorite categories.
It's a free service that helps you get organized.
