what is picclick?

I recently came across some software called picclick. It claims to offer a streamlined search for ebay or amazon based just on displaying images of the selected items on a single page.

However I cannot see anywhere to sign up to it, either for sellers or buyers. There is an information home page at picclick.com which provides more information on how it works but no where for users to sign up.

Anyone help?

    I'd guess that if you click on the silhouette of the head and log in with your ebay ID it may well set up an account for you. I'm not sure that I would want to be using a service that states:

    "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."

    and the lord steal-ith your Ebay details and use them to buy/sell fake items and fleece unsuspecting punters.

    I had another look. There is no signing up needed. It actually seems to work like this. You open their website, click on one of the eBay categories shown, enter your search and it does a search and then presents all the results as thumbnail pictures with a brief title on one page. There is a slider to enlarge the images. The same sort of search also seems to be available for Amazon. So basically you get a page of summarised images. Not bad if you are looking for something with a lot of results.

    damn it! and I have been using the search bar on the Ebay site for years, I feel cheated.
