There are many useful extensions for Firefox - right now I have one for page rank, the Webmaster Toolbar, del.icio.us and ColorfulTabs. One I’ve been trying for a while is the eBay Companion for Firefox. Although much is made of “eBay Edition”, I just added the companion as a normal extension.

The main part of the companion is the bar which appears when you click the eBay button in the toolbar. You get a list of the items you’re watching, bidding on, selling, or all of them at the same time. The current bids and price are shown, with an option to place a bid, buy now or find similar if the auction has ended. The arrow on the toolbar button will also take you directly to My eBay, Buying, Selling etc.

But what I find really useful is the box which appears when an auction is coming to an end. If I’m working on something I might not check the account eBay emails are sent to or check My eBay, and this has been a really useful, yet simple tool.
