eBay has revised the eBay Toolbar Featuring Yahoo! and is ready for download.  Be aware that using toolbars such as this may slow down your computer. 

As a good security measure, in general, before checking the box to accept the terms of download for any piece of software, be sure to check what you are agreeing to!  To download many toolbars, the fine print says you will allow the company to accumulate information from you...such as your browsing habits etc. 

If you find your computer is running slow since downloading a toolbar, try uninstalling it, and see if that takes care of the problem.

The eBay/Yahoo! Toolbar is currently only for Windows based PCs (Mac is not mentioned.)  They are working on a Firefox version.  Here's the announcement regarding the eBay/Yahoo!  Toolbar:

Hi everyone, I'm Jeff Loui. My team and I have been working with our friends at Yahoo! to create a new version of the eBay Toolbar that combines the best features from both sites. I'm pleased to announce that the new eBay Toolbar Featuring Yahoo! is now available.
