Using a streamlined interface that’s as elegant as it is practical, eBay members can search, bid, and check their activity on the go. Buyers can sneak in that last-minute bid on a hard-to-find item, sellers can check on their sales, and act on time-sensitive information on the spot without a computer. eBay is open for business anytime, anywhere on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.

Customer Reviews
I love this app!
This app is a awesome. I can keep tabs on my auctions and do searches without navigating the web site pages in Safari. Never I will never miss another auction while away from my computer.
More role awareness would be great
I genuinely like this application. You can search, bid, and keep track of your “My eBay” stuff: items you’re bidding on, selling or watching. As a seller, I can see how my auction is going, which is great. But I can’t check the feedback history of a bidder, or view an auction’s bidding history. I also can’t see or respond to questions about my open auctions from potential buyers, like I can in a web browser.
A big plus for both buyers and sellers is how eBay Mobile handles actual listings. First, you see the basics: time left, current bid, shipping and payment information, etc. Follow the link to the item description and you see the seller’s write-up. And the best part: if the seller includes hyperlinks to, say, a Flickr photoset or manufacturer web site, those links open within the eBay Mobile app itself rather than launching Safari. You can browse forward and back in the app, and there is always a quick link back to the item summary, and from there back to My eBay and Search functions.
Of course, it’s eBay, and they’ve geared their Mobile app more for buying than for selling. For example, when I am logged into eBay and viewing an item I’m selling, I still see “Place bid” and “Watch item” buttons. That’s pretty lame. I’d give it 4 stars if it were more aware of my seller role, and 5 if it actually let me create and edit listings.
