Here are some handy bookmarklets I've created for eBay that will save you some time. Bookmarklets are like regular bookmarks in your web browser except they do something useful when you click on them (read more about bookmarklets on Wikipedia). For example, let's say you shop on eBay a lot and you always buy from the same 3 sellers (John, Mary, and Sue). Every day you check back on eBay to see if John, Mary, or Sue have any new items for sale. In this case most people would just create 3 seperate bookmarks in their web browser, one for John's page, one for Mary's page, and one for Sue's page. But what if there was a way to combine those three bookmarks into one? Well, with a bookmarklet, you can! When you click on the bookmarklet it would ask you which seller's items you want to see, then you enter a seller's name and all of their available items would come up. Bookmarklets are kind of like interactive bookmarks. They can can save you time by allowing you to jump to common eBay destinations faster. To use these bookmarklets simply drag each link to the bookmarks toolbar in your web browser or right-click on them and choose "Add to Bookmarks".
