ebay pages is bookmarklet to allow you to see the first item in every page for a given query on ebay. So, if you searched for ipad sorted by price, you can jump directly into the desired page, rather guessing what the price for a given page is. Here is what it would look like for that query:

A more compelling example would be a query yielding 1000s of results sorted by time left with values ranging from seconds to days, but you were interested in a couple days left. Now, you could jump into this desired range without browing through pages and pages of results. The non-compressed code is here: https://gist.github.com/1159951.
