EBay 4.0 now available on Google Play with completely overhauled design

eBay is also launching with a new app for iOS and Android. The interface is broken into three categories – Activity, Shop, and Sell – that allow users to keep track of the auctions, promotions, and even events that interest them.

The app overhaul, which borrows in part from eBay’s website on desktop computers, comes soon after the company in July split from its faster-growing PayPal unit, with the separation putting increased pressure on eBay to ramp up its slow sales growth. The “activity” app will include a summary of a user’s recent actions on the site, including searches, recently viewed products and selling activity. For the sake of comparison, a quick browsing online shows that these items are all priced at $40 or more from other sellers.

This is the first major update the mobile application receives since December when the iPad version of eBay got an important update. However, the corporate has now discovered a extra standardized app that feels and operates…

Last year, the company was hit with a cyber-attack that caused a password and data breach on the platform, subsequently leading Google to demote eBay’s listing in its search engine and users to abandon the marketplace.

The “promote” tab supplies extra instruments for customers to trace their on-line gross sales, and permits customers to combine eBay Valet for the primary time. The company’s apps have seen nearly 279 million downloads and 60% of all users have used a mobile during the buying and selling process.
