For consumers looking to save as much money as possible while shopping, eBay can be your best friend and your worst enemy. On one hand, auctions and Buy It Now listings often afford deals that are unheard of, offering huge savings not even Amazon can match. On the other hand, auction listings can be a double-edged sword when people swoop in at the last moment and drive up the price of an item you want to buy.
There are plenty of tools designed to help make your eBay experience as smooth as possible though, and a new free iPhone app released on Tuesday should definitely be added to your arsenal.
