Microsoft have today announced that they are partnering with eBay to highlight eBay's daily deals through the use of Internet Explorer 8 using their Web Slice feature. This is designed to better inform people as to when there are some nice discounts on the most popular products.

The feature works by sitting in the user's favourites bar in IE8 and offering ongoing updates and information about the best daily deals around.

If you'd like to give it a try, you can get the web slice here. Further to that is the ability to add eBay as a search provider (using Visual Search) and also available is an eBay Accelerator which you may like to try.

More info on Microsoft's partnership with eBay can be found over at their PressPass segment.
