Wird gelöscht. ### 4/5 — A handy app to track items on eBay! *2021-12-21, version 4.3* I really appreciate the continued support for this handy app. It’s a great way to keep track of items and categories that you’d like to follow on eBay without having to slog through the cluttered interface of the eBay web site itself. Perhaps the only really improvements I’d make at this point is updated iOS design language and refinement of the app’s interface ergonomics. Otherwise a great way to keep track of items on eBay! ### 5/5 — Must have for eBay hunters *2021-12-11, version 4.3* eBay app is not bad but this is so much superior. Definite must have. ### 5/5 — Request *2021-09-11, version 4.3* Glad to see update on this app, Can we get up date on separate user accounts profiles? So my search and account are separated from my wife? ### 5/5 — Super Such-Tool ohne Alternativen *2019-01-01, version 4.0.2* Wenn man oft gelistete Artikel wie iPhones bei eBay ersteigern will, ist das Tool wirklich 1A um über das Gesetz der großen Zahlen in Verbindung mit einem Bietagenten den Wunschkaufpreis zu erzielen. Also Top für Leute die Wissen wie man Suchen richtig, also seinem Wünschen entsprechend definiert;) ### 2/5 — New but buggy (update - fixed!) *2017-03-05, version 4.0.1* I like the cleaner interface, the drawers have finally been banished. However: It crashes when you try to share an item. You can only look at the details of "unread" items - tapping on an item marks it as read so it no longer appears in the expanded list! Try it on a search with only one hit and as soon as you tap on it, it says no items found!! It also crashes if you try to "star" an item, but the star is there on restart. Update - new version fixes these, thanks for the quick response! ### 1/5 — Update einzige Katastrophe! *2017-03-05, version 4.0.1* Mir gefällt das neue Design nicht. Das alte war viel übersichtlicher!Neue Artikel kaum zu erkennen. Ich wünsche mir eine Funktion zum entfernen nicht gewünschter Artikel. ### 1/5 — Neue Version deutlich schlechter *2017-03-01, version 4.0* Neue Version ist deutlich schlechter in der Bedienung geworden. Kann man nicht mehr empfehlen. ### 1/5 — Beta *2017-02-28, version 4.0* La vecchia versione ogni tanto si crashava ma era utilizzabile, questa nuova proprio non va. ### 1/5 — Update *2017-02-26, version 4.0* Nach dem Update wurde diese App total zerstört. Hässliches, unübersichtliches Layout. Musste das sein? ## Frequently asked questions about GarageBuy ### What does GarageBuy do?
