Cooqy.com - eBay Gets a New Face

Cooqy provides a fresh and friendly interface for eBay which makes shopping a breeze. Cooqy launches directly without registration. What you"ll find is a seriously cool flash based interface with an advanced toolset. Information loads quickly. The advanced query function allows you to refine searches by specifying location for cheaper shipping, by generating mispelled entries which usually go unnoticed and are therefore probably cheaper, and by helping you find zero bid items or those with buy now status. By pressing Find Similar button, Cooqy will automatically pull up relevant matches. There are several viewing options: photo collage, stamp sheet, gallery, list, and even map view which very nicely integrates with Yahoo maps and pinpoints the locations of the items up for sale. Once you"ve set up your own account with Cooqy there are advanced options available: Finders Keepers hides an item from other Cooqy users if you"re the highest bidder; Watchlist is for items you want to keep your eye on; Found Items displays results emailed to you which match your search alert criteria. Once you want to place a bid you"ll be directed to the actual eBay site. For sellers there"s a set of widgets which enable advertising on popular sites like Myspace, Blogger, and Xanga among others.

"Shoppers can shop eBay with superior presentation, performance, and value-add shopping features not available elsewhere, for free!

Cooqy"s got some stellar tools; the interface is intuitive and easy to use; results are delivered quickly; the search options are incredibly helpful; and it looks good. Cooqy

Users might be wary of the flash interface. The tagging feature which seeks to reform eBays feedback system won"t be useful until the numbers increase.
