eBay is one of the most popular online auction and shopping websites, used by millions of people worldwide. Whether you want to stay alert about the latest auctions or simply search for items on eBay much easier, the eBay Sidebar for Firefox can help you keep an eye on eBay’s latest offers.
Simple setup and customize notifications
eBay Sidebar for Firefox can be installed quickly only in Mozilla Firefox, granting you faster access to the well-known e-shopping website and your eBay account. Once signed in, you can easily keep track of the items you are watching and the ones you have bid on.
The toolbar can be configured to display text and audio alerts for the items you intent on buying, best offers accepted or received, outbids, items you are selling and received questions from potential buyers. Additionally, it comes with notification snoozing options, so that you can carry on with your work while the alert stays active.
Lock your account, search for items and add others to favorites
One particular feature that can really come in handy to eBay users is the possibility to “lock” the account, which means that you remain signed in to the toolbar, no matter who signs in to the eBay website. Therefore, it is safe to say that due to this feature, you cannot possibly miss an important event on eBay.
As you would expect, the toolbar comes with a handy search box, enabling you to quickly find the item you are looking for. It can find completed listings and filter your search by various criteria (item number, bidder, seller, eBay store, category and so on). Moreover, it can remember the search history and allows you to create a favorite list for searches, sellers or stores.
Customize the toolbar and go to reviews
With just a click, you can access the product review section, the discussion forums or the fixed price item list. Sellers can opt to view the current price of their item or the number of bids it has.
The toolbar is fully customizable, since you can select the buttons you want to view and hide the ones you don’t. With a single click, you can access the alerts, the list of items you sell or buy, view the items you won or the top picks.
Conclusion
eBay Sidebar for Firefox is a must-have utility for those who are constantly using eBay for selling or buying products. It can alert you before an auction ends and help you place a bid in the right time in order to win more items, while the security features protect your account from fraud.
It does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, the response time is good and the interface is not only user-friendly, but highly customizable.

A petition being circulated by Mozilla Firefox users highlights the problems faced by eBay users who don't use Internet Explorer (IE) as their default browser. The online petition, currently with over 1,000 signatures, urges eBay to support alternative browsers such as Firefox. Some of the complaints are that some features of the eBay site do not work properly when viewed with the Firefox browser, such as the selling page (SYI) where sellers write their auction titles and descriptions.
In Internet Explorer, the auction-description box on the SYI page has a plain-view tab and an HTML-view tab. In Firefox, it is just a plain box with no tabs; you have to click on another link to see a preview of the page. Once you have uploaded a photo to your eBay listing, you can see the photo on the eBay page right using Internet Explorer - but not when using Firefox.
For this reason, many Firefox users abandon the eBay site's listing tool and use Turbo Lister or another auction listing tool to list their eBay auctions.
Programming code on auction pages that work fine on Internet Explorer may break down when viewed on Firefox.
'The main reason for the problem is not Firefox itself,' a Mozilla Firefox programmer explained. 'The problem is the eBay site is written to be solely compatible with Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer was written to allow poorly written programming code to work as though it is perfect code and Firefox has the opposite approach in that it enforces strict web standards. This means auction pages which may appear normally in Internet Explorer will come up as garbage on Firefox because Firefox has a more strict approach when it comes to the standard of the programming code on the page.'
In addition, there is no eBay toolbar for Mozilla Firefox as yet (http://pages.ebay.com/ebay_toolbar/#req), which has angered some Firefox users. But with the recent introduction of a Google toolbar for Firefox, some are hopeful that eBay will follow suit and introduce their own Firefox toolbar.
Firefox already has a built-in eBay search engine and also a helpful extension tool called 'pet names,' which allows you to assign secret names to secure (https) websites such as Paypal. So if someone sends you a phishing email, you can see instantly if you are on a fake site by seeing if your pet name is on the screen.
Firefox is flourishing due to the constant security problems that seem to plague Internet Explorer. Many reports state that Firefox is becoming the second most-used browser after Internet Explorer with a market share around 10 percent, and slowly rising.
