AuctionSieve Description
Buying and selling on eBay is not only a hobby for some people, it can become a profession, buying cheap items and reselling them on for a profit. AuctionSieve is an application that allows users to quickly browse eBay for specific items and cheap deals, with options to refine a search and customize it for specific browsing.
A slightly awkward, yet customizable interface that allows users to configure the program
The design of AuctionSieve is a bit awkward at first and not very streamlined. Instead, it comprises of multiple, expandable areas that come together to form a single window. While the application is incredibly monotone and purely functional, the design does allow users to customize the size of each area, effectively redesigning the layout.
Users can expand the search area to include as many results as their screen will fit, or they can reduce it to display the options and other features. The customizable approach offers several advantages that make up for the sober design, but, most importantly, it is focused around the search results, which it displays very clearly.
Useful features that help refine and customize eBay searches, allowing for a significant degree of control
AuctionSieve presents users with a wide array of different filters, options and features all based around customizing the search parameters to a higher degree than eBay would normally allow. While it includes some filters as standard, it includes a custom filter feature that allows users to create specific filters, based around their own unique requirements.
The application also allows users to create complex search strings, with both keywords and exclusion words to search for an item while blocking specific results. Searches can be made to include specific sellers or block sellers from a search, as well as rapidly change with country version of eBay the search takes place on.
An interesting tool that will aid users who regularly use eBay, providing greater searching power
While the interface of AuctionSieve remains a bit dated and particularly bland, it is extremely functional and users will be able to enhance their search power considerably. For those who enjoy finding the best bargains, or plan on using eBay as a source for their own business, AuctionSieve is an impressive and professional tool.
