About eBay Inc. Mobile
eBay launched its first application for the iPhone in July 2008 and has since become a leader in mobile commerce. Its core iPhone application, which is available free via iTunes in eight languages and 190 countries, has been downloaded more than 10 million times and allows users to fully browse and buy without leaving the application. The eBay app for the iPad debuted in the top ten most downloaded free iPad apps in the iTunes Store and delivers a dramatically different, visually compelling shopping experience to browse and purchase the vast selection of products available on eBay. eBay’s suite of mobile apps, including Selling, Classifieds, StubHub and Deals, make selling and buying possible virtually anywhere, anytime. In 2009, eBay’s mobile gross merchandise volume (GMV) – the value of all goods sold – was more than $600 million. eBay expects to generate $1.5 billion in GMV through mobile commerce in 2010.
eBay Inc’s PayPal™ division has been delivering mobile payments since 2005 and has a mobile app for iPhone, Android and BlackBerry smartphones as well as SMS and WAP-based payments solutions. In 2009, $141 million in payments were transacted over PayPal’s mobile applications. PayPal launched a new version of its iPhone app in March 2010 that was downloaded more than a million times in the first three weeks.
