EBay apps make it No. 1 mobile retailer in U.S.
Tim L. Fields bids on jewelry, art and antiques on eBay Inc., sometimes in 30 to 40 auctions at one time.
The New Orleans attorney spends hours away from his PC, so he gets his shopping done using an eBay app on his iPhone that sends alerts when he’s been outbid or when a sale is about to expire. EBay’s apps have allowed it to grab the lead over rival Amazon.com in a new market.
"It’s sort of an addiction," says Fields, who has used the eBay mobile app to buy a $15,000 set of antique French silver.
After losing ground to Amazon.com for years in online retailing, eBay has emerged as a leader in mobile commerce. As consumers increasingly shop with their BlackBerrys, iPhones, and handsets powered by Google Inc.’s Android software, eBay has become the top mobile retailer in the United States, according to Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Partners LP in New York.
