New Ways of Enabling e-Commerce

eBay has always supported open standards for Web development. In this case, we've chosen to embrace the gadgets specification as defined within OpenSocial. Because the eBay Selling Manager Applications platform is built using the gadgets specification, developers are able to take existing gadgets and re-mix and re-use them in innovative new ways. Open standards allow developers to innovate more quickly across platforms, and that makes the Web better for everyone. Check out the post from our platform architect, Farhang Kassaei, on the OpenSocial blog.

Meet us at Web 2.0 Expo!

We will be demonstrating the eBay Selling Manager beta platform at Web 2.0 Expo (April 1 – April 3) in the eBay booth, # 608. Stop by our booth and find out more about how Selling Manager Applications can help you make money!
