User reviews

The 'Search eBay' Chrome extension is praised for saving time, its ease of use, regional eBay site selection, and reliability when functioning. Users appreciate the developer's support and the extension's simple, ad-free nature. However, multiple reviews mention stability issues such as the extension stopping working, disappearing from menus, and requiring periodic fixes or reinstalls. Some users express privacy concerns, while others find it unresponsive. Overall, it is considered a helpful tool for frequent eBay users, though stability improvements are needed.

I appreciate the simplicity and security of this app. Been using it for a while now. Thank you for not having it insert affiliate links or some other nonsense.

This has saved me a tremendous amount of time over the years. There was a small glitch recently but I just had to left click the pinned extension icon and select the "Apply saved options to search?" checkbox and it's back to 100% functionality. Worth mentioning that this checkbox is in a separate popup (as I said: left click), not under the usual extension options view.
