"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.
