eBay Teams Up With Microsoft to Offer Daily Deals
REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 26 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Windows Internet Explorer 8 offers features to enhance the online holiday
shopping experience.
Microsoft Corp. and eBay Inc. today announced they are partnering to offer eBay Daily Deals through a new
Internet Explorer 8 Web Slice for the holidays. With most holiday shoppers looking to save money, Microsoft
and eBay will present online Daily Deals through a new Windows Internet Explorer 8 Web Slice that will
showcase popular products selling at deep discounts. Customers will receive continuing updates and detailed
information about these Daily Deals for eBay, all within the Favorites Bar in Internet Explorer 8.
"With almost 200 million live listings, the eBay Marketplace is second to none when it comes to holiday gift
options," said Rob Chesney, vice president of buyer and seller experience, eBay. "This season we are making
it even easier for Internet Explorer 8 users to find amazing products at deep discounts with the eBay Daily
Deals Web Slice."
With online shopping expected to increase this season, Internet security is a key concern for consumers. In
direct response to customers' needs, Microsoft developed Internet Explorer 8 with built-in security protection.
A study by NSS Labs shows that Internet Explorer is the leading modern browser in malware and phishing
protection.
"Our customers tell us they want a browser that puts them in control of their security and privacy, and those
are key ingredients to a positive online experience," said Amy Barzdukas, general manager of Internet
Explorer and Consumer Safety, Microsoft. "The eBay Daily Deals Web Slice is just one more great reason to
upgrade to and use Internet Explorer 8 for all your online holiday shopping."
The holidays are a fun time to surprise friends and family with gifts from the heart. The InPrivate Browsing
feature in Internet Explorer 8 allows consumers to shop online without leaving information behind for others to
find on shared computers. InPrivate Browsing allows the user to control whether or not Internet Explorer 8
saves the browsing history, cookies, temporary Internet files and other data.
For enhanced holiday shopping online, eBay and Microsoft offer customers the opportunity to find the best
Daily Deals through the innovative use of Internet Explorer 8 Web Slice. Internet Explorer 8 delivers the
features that Internet users want, making the browser faster and easier, while increasing security and privacy -
for online holiday shopping and beyond. eBay will also launch a "12 Days of Deals" promotion along with an
exclusive Mystery Deal featured each day of the Daily Deal from Nov. 27 through Dec. 8.
