Softonic review  -- Elena Santos - Track eBay bids from your desktop

eBay heavy users like you probably spend half of their computer time checking the eBay site to track items, bids, offers or messages. Wouldn't it be nice to have some help in this tiring task?

eBay Desktop is the answer to this whish. This tool, which has been developed under the AIR platform, lets you review and check all the important information in the eBay website. You'll be able to search for special items, bid on any of them and also put the ones that interest you most in your watching list.

The program also features special services (RSS feed readers, outbid alerts and item reminders, among others) that enable you to be ahead of other bidders and have more chances to win auctions.

On the downside, I had problems when trying to list items in certain categories and also when displaying item pictures. Apparently, they were having technical difficulties at the eBay site so it's probably not the program's fault.

Though not always responding as it should, this eBay AIR-based gadget is the perfect companion for all eBay fans who spend too much time on the eBay website.


Advantage and Disadvantages

• Gives you access to all eBay functions
• Easy way to track bids and win auctions
• Sometimes it doesn't display information properly

About Windows 8

Windows 8 is the current release of the Windows operating system, produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor in 2009. Its existence was first announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.

Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily focused towards improving its user experience on mobile devices such as tablets to rival other mobile operating systems (such as Android and iOS),[4] taking advantage of new and emerging technologies (such as USB 3.0, UEFI firmware, near field communications, cloud computing, and the low-power ARM architecture), new security features (such as malware filtering, built-in antivirus software, and support for secure boot, a controversial UEFI feature which requires operating systems to be digitally signed to prevent malware from infecting the boot process), along with other changes and performance improvements.

Windows 8 also introduces a new shell and user interface based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, featuring a new Start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles to represent applications, a new app platform with an emphasis on touchscreen input, the new Windows Store to obtain and purchase applications for the system, and the ability to synchronize programs and settings between multiple devices.
