It just seems like I keep finding applications for ebay although I don’t try to do this on purpose. Some programs are just so hard not to write or inform about, and this is one of them.

Auction Reminder is a nifty webservice that lets you add ebay auction reminders onto your google calendar. You will have to authorize Auction Reminder to get access to your google calendar though. This program becomes really handy as a fact that it allows you to get the reminders when you want to. If you want to be reminded of auctions only after 5:00 pm you will get notifications only after then.

Also, since you can add these reminders to your google calendar you can embed your calendar on your webpage or share with somebody else so they can see as well what you are interested in ( who knows, may be if you are outbidded, they will get it for you, never know ).

This is a very helpful service if you are someone who uses google calendar extensively and happens to be an ebay fan as well.

I am a huge ebay fan, there isn’t a day that passes by without me looking into ebay and finally buying or bidding on something. For all ebay addicts like me this software will prove to be a gold in a coal mine.

Nabit is a software which lets you enjoy ebay without ever having to open your browser.This application sits on your system tray quietly until there has been a change in your bidding or buying status. When you have been outbidded in an auction Nabit shows a pop up alert to notify you. Nabit lets you track all of your bids in one simple application which saves time as you don’t have to follow through different steps on ebay.

It tracks all the changes in your ebay account for an auction you are bidding on, when you are outbidded, if the price changes, if the auction has expired and so forth without you having to open the browser. Also you can bid on items using this application as well, one more great feature.

This application is constantly updated to make it even better and best of all this is a free software, so Ebay Addicts go ahead and download this great application and save some time and keep track on your bidding.

We have all used ebay at some point, whether to sell or to buy that product that has already been used so we can save a little money. Ebay is building a new desktop application which is currently called San Dimas Project. Since this is a desktop application you wont have to bother searching and typing in your internet browser. Save some time while you are hunting those cheap goodies down.

The San Dimas Project is trying to get three major types of feature through this application:

Core ebay features which includes buying/selling, bidding, browse, watch list, search, etc ( Note that San Dimas will have a selling feature but only for casual sellers not for professional sellers or businesses and this feature will not be available in Beta testing, wonder why )

Second, unique desktop features like alerting you when you win or lose an item, when you are outbidded , etc.

And third, checkout and feedback features which are so very integral in ebay community

The good thing about this project is it will run on both PC and Mac so Mac fans won’t have to frown about not having all the coolest applications either.

This service is still not in public Beta so we might have to wait for a little bit. Although, there is an option to sign up for a Beta testing. I already have as I am a huge fan of ebay ( yes, cause I like to buy used things to save up some money ) and if you are too, you better hurry up.

Just so that you know, Ebay had a charity auction for the first beta user and the winning bid was $251.00. Here is the link
