BlackBerry eBay App Now Available [eBay BlackBerry App: Supports PayPal - Search, Track & Buy Items Directly from Your BB]

A few days ago we gave you a heads up that a new eBay Deals App for the iPhone and iPod Touch had now become available and now we have this official eBay BlackBerry App that’s been co-developed by eBay and RIM and which allows you to search, track and buy items directly via your BlackBerry handset.
Obviously, in allowing you to place bids and purchase items directly from your BlackBerry device it goes without saying that the eBay BlackBerry App fully supports PayPal payments and, helpfully, the eBay BlackBerry App, as well as allowing you to track items, will also act to notify your directly should your bids either win or loose and, on top of that, it’ll also allow you to utilise your BlackBerry’s calendar to schedule reminders concerning auctions (ensuring that you don’t forget about that potential killer deal you’ve spotted).
Of course, whilst this official eBay/RIM eBay BlackBerry App will be warmly welcomed by the BB fraternity there are those that, having previously paid out a somewhat steep $10 for a similar (but by no means as comprehensive) BB eBay App – namely Bonfire Media’s Pocket Auctions for eBay – who will doubtless be uttering a few expletives under their breath right now, and understandably so, as this official eBay BlackBerry App is, yes, free.
The official eBay BlackBerry App is available via App World as of now but appears limited, as at the time of writing certainly, to users based in the US and Canada.
