eBay has announced a new listing tool based on Microsoft's Silverlight technology, called the eBay Simple Lister.

The new tool was presented at Microsoft developer conference MIX10 by eBay VP of Product Development, Raji Arasu. A notable feature is the use of a standard webcam to read a product's barcode and pull in catalog data. Watch the presentation.
