SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eBay, a global leader in m-commerce, announced today the availability of its first application for iPad in conjunction with the U.S. debut of the device. The eBay for iPad app delivers a dramatically different, visually compelling shopping experience to browse the vast selection of products available on eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY), the world's largest online marketplace. eBay for iPad builds on the momentum of eBay's expanding portfolio of new iPhone® apps, including its new Selling and Classifieds apps launched earlier this week. More than 8 million consumers are using eBay's shopping app for iPhone. eBay expects to generate $1.5 billion in merchandise volume through mobile commerce in 2010.

• View and search through items in a rich, visually compelling gallery display
• Scroll through a vast selection of items seamlessly using their fingertips
• Easily filter search results by price, category and more using intuitive finger controls
• Quickly pinpoint items in a desired range with a Pricing Histogram

eBay Mobile Applications - Buy and Sell Virtually Anywhere, Anytime

As a global leader in m-commerce, eBay recognizes that sellers and buyers are increasingly turning to mobile devices for their shopping needs. eBay's mobile applications are available in more than 190 countries and eight languages and generate a mobile purchase every 2 seconds.

The launch of the eBay for iPad app continues the company's momentum in mobile commerce. In late March, eBay released two new apps for the iPhone: eBay Selling and eBay Classifieds. eBay Selling is the company's first app designed exclusively for casual sellers, allowing consumers to list an item for sale in less than 60 seconds through an interface fully integrated with Apple iPhone technology. Similarly, the eBay Classifieds app offers an easy-to-use experience for buying and selling locally with built-in safety and security features to ensure a smooth transaction.
