Mobile shopping played a major role in eBay.com's holiday sales. The company says 1.5 million items were bought on eBay using mobile phones worldwide this holiday. Ebay says its mobile sales included luxury items like gold buillon, a $10,000 Steinway piano and a Hermes Kelly bag.
"Mobile is changing the way people shop this holiday season," said Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay marketplaces. "With eBay on your iPhone, great deals are available anytime, anywhere. We see consumers taking advantage of that freedom to find great holiday gifts and deals without sitting at their computer or being stuck at the mall. eBay buyers and sellers have rapidly embraced mobile commerce this year, and this holiday season has been a mobile commerce tipping point. Shopping will never be the same again."
