EBay launches mobile bidding service in Europe
on Aug 31
MocoNews’ James Quintana Pearce reports EBay’s rollout of an SMS-based service which allows bidders to be notified by SMS if they’re outbid on an existing auction, at which point they can react and increase their bid.
I’m not a regular eBay user, but it’s great to see a mobile service perform the single, and simple, task of tracking existing bids, freeing users from their desktop computer in those exciting last few moments before the end of an auction. No bells and whistle, no application download, just a clever use of SMS.
