In the comments to my TiVo versus MCE versus Cable post, Christoph Bünger sends along this teaser to his upcoming eBay plug-in for Media Center:
mceAuction will include:
- Search auctions
- View auctions with images and description
- Bid on auctions
- ‘Buy Now’ support
- My eBay (”Items I’m Watching”, “Items I’m Bidding On”, “Items I’ve Won”, “Items I Didn’t Win”,”Items I’m Selling”, “Items I’ve Sold” + “Unsold Items”)
All “after auction handling” has to be made with normal browser. all things are “read-only” (Except the bidding-part of the application, that is real user-interaction with eBay).
The plugin will be officially eBay-certified and proofed. It comes with multilingual support (english and german at release, more languages when someone translates them for me), installation/deinstallation.
This one has the potential to be a real winner. Christoph’s other add-ins are first-rate. If you use MCE, the mceWeather add-in is a must-have.
thanks for the appreciation!
and it’s even getting better: mceAuction Beta is available for download at http://www.cbuenger.com.
have fun with it
Christoph
Next good news: the complete new version 2.0 of mceAuction just got the “eBay Star Developer Award for Innovative Application” at the eBay Developer Conference in Las Vegas.
It’s worth taking a deeper look at the 2.0: there are plenty of new features like notifications and Google Maps support for item’s location.
greetings
Christoph
