eBay gets a facelift with San Dimas


At Web 2.0 this week eBay has made its mark with the announcement of the limited beta of its new user interface: Project San Dimas. The interface has been in the works over the past year and is meant to simplify buying and selling items on eBay, allowing them to better compete with other companies like MarketWorks, Vendito, and Y Combinator.

Written as an Apollo deskop application; The program allows eBay users to watch multiple items on eBay easily, and work with that data by exporting stats to their desktop as an excel spreadsheet. When users are outbid on a particular item users are notified by a pop-up window, and users can do things like create item listings while offline, and take photos for their listings with their webcam that are automatically added to their listing.

The project was demoed at DEMO 07 in January. You can check out a video of San Dimas in action at that conference here.
