eBay Inc. (Nasdaq:EBAY):
WHAT: |
| Shopping is sweet this season with eBay mobile... |
| |
Tired of the typical Black Friday shopping experience, with
mile-long lines, claustrophobia- inducing malls and picked-apart
stores? This year, eBay® is offering an alternative to
the mayhem that occurs in traditional retail environments and
hosting HAPPY HOLIDAY HOTSPOTS – food trucks that deliver sweet
treats and free WiFi, creating a mobile shopping sanctuary. On the
most harrowing shopping day of the year, San Franciscans with the
eBay mobile app will be able to shop right from their smartphone
or iPad® while enjoying holiday-themed snacks from the
renowned food truck, Kara's Cupcakes.

|
|
| |
So skip the lines this year and browse the season's hottest items
in Electronics, Fashion, Home and Toys using the eBay mobile app –
with more than 200 million listings on the marketplace, there's
sure to be something for everyone on your gift list. With a click
or a swipe, you can buy what you want, when you want. Follow
