yeah its pretty cool. would like to see some more features integrated in it though but for what it does its pretty good at it and its fast. 2MB though. i hate seeing numbers like that knowing there are not SD card installs and wont be for a little.

Exactly what I was thinking.  It's nice and slick, but it's HUGE!

I'm not a fan of dedicated apps for something the browser can do--even if the browser does it more poorly.

I got my first "low storage" warning this weekend and I'm not at all happy with it.

@BearTard install a few big apps and the market cache will clear itself (assuming that is large on your phone.

I like the scanning feature in this app. Scan a product and it searches eBay. I find it so much faster than the mobile website...I think it's a keeper.

Ebay is actually very good in taking care of these situations for you.  The best thing to do is to pay with PayPal.  If you have a problem, you can file a dispute with PayPal, and they will refund your money once you show you've sent the item back.

It does more than what you can do through your browser. For instance, it popped up a notification for me to let me know about a bid I was watching that was ending in 15 mins.

I ended up winning the bid and loving this app!

And ultimately, this is the fault of Google for not allowing us to install apps on the card.  I promise if we had that ability, you wouldn't be so concerned about downloading a very nice and useful app, and end up having a worse experience on your browser.  This statement you made here BearTard pretty much sums up why I think this needs to be Google's biggest priority.

As much as I've been concerned about stereo Bluetooth, to me this becomes much more of a priority.

If this was the only app that was in the marketplace, I would be happy.  As soon as I saw the barcode scanner program, I thought to myself, they need to do that for ebay...and now here it is.  I really don't see the point of a hundred flashlights, tip calculators and note pads, but this is something that I will use almost every day because I buy a lot of stuff on ebay.
