New eBay Buyer Site

Okay, so I didn't do very well at continuing from where I left off on my last entry. I think if I had kept things as verbose as the last time though, I'd be talking about the dev conference and eBay live for a lot more pages than you'd ever want to read.

So, it's time to move on.

I want to mention a new site we've recently released for eBay buyers.

KickItBack.com

The site allows you to earn 1% cash back on all of your eBay purchases. All you have to do is make sure to place your bids through the KickItBack site. You can do this in one of two ways. You can click through from KickItBack to eBay and then place your bid. Or you can use KickItBack's bid feature.

The bid feature may not seem that special, but our site is one of the first public sites allowed by eBay to be using the PlaceOffer call. The PlaceOffer call is part of eBay's API and thus buyers will have to generate an eBay token to use the feature.

We're currently working on some additional features for the site to help buyers find great deals. There is already a widget available where you can save and run eBay searches from your desktop and if you use this, your bids after searching will be credited to KickItBack for your 1% cash back.

Stay tuned for another Buyer site release update, coming soon!
