eBay Launches Countdown Tool for Bidders
By Ina Steiner
AuctionBytes.com
eBay Countdown displays the time remaining and current bid on auctions shoppers are bidding on or watching. The tool lets shoppers set up alerts to remind them when an auction is ending. If they choose to place a bid, they can do so with one click. The tool also has a feature built-in to let users find last-minute deals - items ending soon with no bids.
eBay is hosting an online workshop on eBay Countdown on November 15th.
