eBay's Mobile App a key to their ongoing success.

Online retail behemoth eBay is seeing that there is a very strong demand for on-the-go shopping as their Mobile App continues to bring in tremendous sales and revenue.



According to the company, three purchases are made every second through eBay’s Mobile App globally.
Additionally, a vehicle is bought via eBay's Mobile App every 15 minutes, a pair of women’s shoes is bought every 45 seconds, a women’s handbag every 4 seconds and a tablet every five minutes – all within the United States.

“We know there’s a strong demand for shopping on the go – our suite of mobile apps have been downloaded more than 58 million times, and we expect this to be the biggest mobile shopping season ever,” said Amanda Coffee, spokeswoman for eBay, San Francisco.  “Today’s consumer expects to shop how they want, when they want, and mobile technology is blurring the lines between online and offline retail to meet this demand,” she said.  “As a mobile commerce leader, eBay is at the forefront of delivering a great mobile buying experience just in time for the holidays.”

It's obvious that eBay realizes the enormous power of Mobile Apps and the public's enormous appetite for them. With more and more Americans buying smart-phones every day, the trend will continue to grow and eBay, as well as other retailers who see the enormous potential for mobile sales, will continue to reap the profits from Mobile Apps.
