eBay India, Nokia introduce shopping app for Nokia handsets

eBay India and Nokia India have announced the new eBay India Nokia App that will let shoppers access eBay’s website on the go. Shoppers can browse new deals, compare prices and shop for products directly through their Nokia mobile phones. The app currently showcases products in categories like cameras, mobile phones, computers, electronics, apparels, watches and more.

The eBay app will now be available on Nokia handsets

The app can be downloaded from the Nokia Store for free. Currently, it’s available only for Nokia N8, E6, E7, 701, X7, C2-03 and C2-05 handsets. It also comes pre-loaded on Nokia C2-03 and C2-05 handsets. Alternatively, users can click here to download eBay India’s mobile offerings.

The user interface

Here’s how the app works. Shoppers can look for the products they wish to buy on the eBay India Nokia app through the ‘Search’& ‘Browse categories’. By clicking on the desired product, users can read the description or details of the seller and view the ‘Best Deals’ that are offered. To buy the product, users can select the ‘Buy it Now’ option and confirm the purchase by selecting the ‘Commit to Buy’ option. Payment transactions cannot be completed via the phone. Payments for purchases can be done online on eBay’s website through PaisaPay. All purchases are secure and covered by the eBay Guarantee. Consumers can also access their ‘My eBay’ account, saved searches as well as reminders and messages from eBay.
