New Sharing and Invocation Features

I am excited to introduce the newest features released in BuyerCommand.com. We are introducing a collection of sharing, and URL invocation features that allow you to incorporate eBay items into your social experience. You can specify search criteria in the URL and send those URLs to others so that their initial experience in BuyerCommand is the same search criteria or item you have located.

BuyerCommand provides a set of "verbs" or "commands" that indicate the search criteria. You can use these to produce more specific search results. Here are a list of a few commands:

  • sellerid
  • catid
  • itemid
  • minbids
  • maxprice
Basically now you can invoke BuyerCommand by defining these in the URL... something like this:

http://buyercommand.com/sellerid/ok98/minbid/1

or

http://buyercommand.com/itemid/150403042702

or

http://buyercommand.com/catid/156521

As you can see in that first URL you can chain together a collection of commands to invoke the application using compound search criteria. Use the URL features to start BuyerCommand in the desired search, and send those links through Twitter, Blogs, or email to others to review the items you have seen. Sharing eBay listings, interesting sellers, or interesting categories with other users will be easier with these features.

Please visit BuyerCommand, test the URLs mentioned, and share some interesting eBay items. Also be aware that I uploaded a new video to YouTube that introduces BuyerCommand. You can view that at http://www.youtube.com/user/buyercommand .
