We've begun providing credit for repeat Feedback for transactions ending on or after Tuesday, February 19th. We've also made some cosmetic changes to the Feedback Profile page to reflect this change. What's more – coming in May, we will provide credit for ALL repeat transactions that occurred between 1996 and February 2008. (We'll be introducing the other Feedback changes announced in January in that timeframe, as well.)

With this change, now sellers will get the credit they deserve when their great service and selection results in repeat buyers -- they can also reward loyal buyers with repeat Feedback, as well.

Sincerely,

Brian Burke
Director, Global Feedback Policy

With eBay Desktop you can search and browse, watch, and bid on items, and use new features like feeds and popup alerts. The eBay Desktop interface is slick and easy to use, and we've even added a video tutorial to help you get started.

Thanks to your feedback and suggestions during our beta period, we've streamlined the tool and focused on making the application more stable and even faster. Plus we've added a few new features, such as the "all feed items" option, which lets you see items from all your favorite sellers and searches on one screen.

Visit http://desktop.ebay.com and give eBay Desktop a try!

Sincerely,

Alan Lewis

	***Original: Public Beta Launch of the eBay Desktop***
	October 02, 2007 | 10:00AM PST/PT Alan Lewis Hey everyone...I'm Alan Lewis, and I'm here to tell you about eBay Desktop - an exciting new product we are launching in beta today. In a nutshell, eBay Desktop lets you take care of most of your normal eBay activity – without having to use your web browser. You can search, bid on, and watch items right from the eBay Desktop application, all while getting alerts about their status. One of the features I like most is the Favorite Search feed, which lets you download items from your favorite searches and browse through them, even when you're not online! Of course, describing these features in text doesn't do them justice – check out the screenshot below, and try it out for yourself! Thousands of users have been helping us test early versions of eBay Desktop over the past year, and have given us hundreds of awesome suggestions on how to improve the product. Today, we’re inviting everyone in the entire eBay Community to give it a whirl through our public beta. It's fun, it's easy to use, and it's free! Most importantly, let us know what you think! eBay Desktop has a built-in product feedback tool, and I encourage you to use it to give us your thoughts. Or if you prefer, you can send a note to sneakpeek@ebay.com with your comments and suggestions. Thanks for trying out eBay Desktop! Sincerely, Alan Lewis eBay Desktop
