iTrack Auction Tracking Service Unveiled Today

New Service at  http://www.itrack.com  Tracks eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, AuctionUniverse, uBid and OnSale

iTrack today launched the first service to alleviate the growing complexity of finding what you seek in the busy world of online auctions. iTrack ( http://www.iTrack.com )  lets users track auctions on eBay, Amazon Auctions, Yahoo! Auctions, and AuctionUniverse, and is adding new sites regularly. iTrack has also received the TRUSTe privacy certification, guaranteeing the confidentiality of both personal and search information.
 
The iTrack auction monitoring service addresses one of the fastest growing segments of the online world. Jupiter Communications projects that online auction users in the U.S. alone will zoom from 1.2 million in 1998 to 6.5 million in 2002. Jupiter also estimates that consumers will spend $7.1 billion dollars over the next four years through purchases at online auction sites.
 
"With the growing number of sites and sellers, it is increasingly difficult for users to find the item or bargain they are seeking. Whether the search is for a certain beanie baby, Elvis concert tickets, antique crystal or a Michael Jordan autographed basketball, iTrack's automatic robot is busy helping users find what they seek," said Dave Taylor, founder and president of iTrack. "No matter how rare or unusual the item, iTrack ensures that collectors locate it.

How iTrack Works-
Users register at iTrack via the Web at http://www.itrack.com with their email address and a private password. They then indicate what they seek and the auction sites they want searched. The iTrack system automatically searches the selected auction sites for the patterns specified by the user. If there are any new matches to report they're sent directly to the user as a convenient email message.
 
iTrack Search Packs-
iTrack offers users three different membership/ subscription levels:

• iTrack 3-Pack allows iTrackers to enter up to three search patterns and have them checked daily, and it's free.
  
  
• iTrack 8-Pack gives iTrackers up to eight searches, access to the private iTrack discussion board and the ability to request twice-daily searches to ensure that they're in-the-know regarding the items they seek, for an annual $25 fee.
  
  
• iTrack 20-Pack, for the power user, gives iTrackers up to 20 searches plus all benefits of the iTrack 8-Pack, for an additional $25 annual fee.  About iTrack
