Ebay Express is up and open

EBAY MIGHT be looking to Microsoft and Yahoo to help its stave off Google but it’s also been busy designing a new site with a less cluttered look and feel and a new approach to selling.

Although the stories about eBay seeking some form of combination took precedence on Friday, the firm also said at the time that it will have its long-anticipated eBay Express up and running this week. The aim of the Express site is that visitors can make fixed-price purchases.

You can beat the crowds and take a look at a preview of the site here.
