This project was conceived in 2007 as a means to do a more thorough yet selective job of searching the vast listings of auctions and Buy it Now items for sale on eBay. I wanted to create something for myself that was simple to use yet powerful enough to search eBay for collectibles and for items to resell. I had an idea in mind of the features I wanted to implement in an application, so I looked into eBay's developer program and signed up to be an eBay developer. After getting familiar with the different eBay APIs, I created a design for a search application that could take a list of search terms and apply specific search criteria to each individual term. I also wanted to be able to search any number of categories and search across any number of eBay's international sites.

It took several months of development and testing to come up with something that I could reliably use. It worked well and was perfectly suited for my needs. It was at that point that I came to the conclusion that other people could benefit from what I had created, so I submitted my application to eBay's software review board for approval as a distributed piece of software. It took only a few weeks to be approved. A couple years and many revisions later, Bidder Toolbox is still being distributed as a free-to-download, free-to-use eBay search tool. I hope everyone who downloads and uses my application will find it easy and useful for making eBay a better place to shop. -Alan Workman, developer of Bidder Toolbox
