eBay Desktop is Out -- Track Further Progress on the eBay Desktop Blog
I'm proud to let you know that eBay Desktop is now out of beta, and version 1.0 is available at http://desktop.ebay.com. With eBay Desktop you can search and browse, watch, and bid on items, and use new features like feeds and popup alerts. We've also launched the eBay Desktop Blog, where you can track the application's progress.
If you haven't tried eBay Desktop, try it for just a few minutes, and you may find yourself really liking it. A special offer just for developers: convince 5 people to try it also, and I'll buy you a drink at the Developers Conference in Chicago in June -- no proof needed... I'll trust your word.

Track your auctions anywhere with ahTXT
A new startup called ahTXT has just launched a new application that relays real-time eBay seller activity directly to your cell phone. Now sellers can receive notifications of events as they happen, including sales, questions from buyers, best offers, and even feedback. The service is free and easy to use. Sign up at ahTXT.com.
The ahTXT developers are actually eBay PowerSellers with 100% positive feedback (5390 score).
We used WAP on our phones, hot-spots for laptops, and even mobile broadband. Those were too slow or cumbersome. We decided then we needed to build our own app to help us stay informed, save time and increase sales through better responsiveness. We were familiar with the eBay Trading API, building in-house sales automation tools, and that's how ahTXT was born, out of necessity. Through the process of turning a single-process widget into a scalable Web and mobile application, we also discovered the very large eBay Developer community and active support channels.
