Depending on who you listen to, the toolbar is a) full of spyware b) brilliant.

Oddly enough, ebay tend to go for b.

I've never bothered to try it, I can do without more crap bogging down my computer.

The ebay toolbar is a double edged sword. The toolbar bit is for internet explorer and is just another toolbar. It also comes with a handy applciation which runs in the background and does little popup windows when items you are watching are about to end etc. This is really handy (unless you use a sniping service of course). I don't use the toolbar (I have Firefox anyway) but the background application is really usefull.
