So I’ve been hearing a lot of cool stuff about Flex and I finally started playing around with tutorials. But there isn’t really any good ones out there and what’s a better way to learn than to create something for real. So I decided to create a Flex eBay browser! I buy and sell quite a few stuff on eBay and I was thinking how I can use Flex to browse listings faster, hence eBayer was born.

This is an initial release, it’s still rough on the edges. If you have a second, please be my guinea pig, test the app and let me know what you think.

Some known bugs/limitation:

• You can only search US listings for now.
• Currency is US $ only for now.
• Mouse-wheel scroll does not work on Firefox (wmode=opaque/transparent bug with flash)
• The app is too tall (?) Most laptop users would not be able to see the bottom.
• Search results are capped at 100 listings for now.
• Description section disappear if you resize your browser to smaller than the flash size.

Features I am working on:

• The refresh button on Item Info panel
• Send Feedback functionality
• Viewing seller feedback
• Real time time-left countdown
• Charts (still not sure what the chart should show)
• Add to a listing ‘Watch List’
• A better error handling
• Listing pagination (not sure if this is really necessary, do people actually paginate through thousands of listings instead of refining their search term?)

Thanks Judah for your HTML Component!
