I use it and find it very helpful, quick and easy to use. Its good for spotting spoof emails too which claim to be from ebay or paypal.Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/1550

I never install toolbar items.
And I can still spot spoof Emails as Ebay are the only ones with that mail address and also Roboform would not show the login details if it was the wrong site.0 -
I don't like toolbars and ebay's has a dubious reputation.My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -
Wouldn't go near it, who knows what it does or what it migth send to Ebay.0

I don't use it as I see no need for it. Despite what we read the spoof and spam emails *are* obvious and if I want to see if I have any bids I log into ebay..I certainly don't want it always visible on my PC, I'm not that obsessed with ebay.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Another vote for no to toolbars in general here. I agree that spoof emails are pretty obvious usually and I use firefox which can spot phishing websites on its own anyway.:www: :: MFi3 ::
