It all works. Metzee runs in a browser, so a laptop needs nothing installed and nothing configured. What you need to watch a show
Where a laptop is better
Judging an item. A bigger screen shows condition, colour and grain better than a phone — and condition is what you are actually deciding about. How to judge an item through a camera
Reading the chat while watching, without one crowding the other.
Seller paperwork. Listings, delivery rates, zones, the finance screens. Long forms are far nicer with a keyboard.
Bulk work. Editing an exported spreadsheet and uploading it back is a laptop job. Listing a lot of items quickly
Writing descriptions. People write better descriptions on a keyboard, and descriptions are what prevent returns.
Where a phone still wins
Bidding in the last seconds. A phone in your hand beats a laptop on a table.
Notifications. The thing you carry is the thing that should tell you that you have been outbid.
Going live. Broadcasting is built around a phone — its camera, held or propped, moved over the item. A laptop camera points at your face and cannot be moved over a thing. Going live from a phone
The arrangement that works
Laptop to watch and research, phone to bid. Same account, same auction, nothing breaks — a bid is a bid whichever device places it. Using two devices while hosting
Your screen can be a moment behind on either, so tap the amount the app offers rather than typing one you read a second ago.
If it feels wrong on a laptop
An old browser is the usual cause, and live video is the part that suffers first. Which browsers does Metzee work in?
A strict blocker can break the video player while leaving the page looking fine.
Zoom and reader mode work, and the layout reflows rather than breaking. Using Metzee with a screen reader or large text
What there is not
No desktop application to install, and no separate seller software. The same site does everything, which is also why a fix reaches you without an update. Why is there no iPhone app?
