Shopping for eBay brings native experience to BlackBerry 10

shopping4ebay

While we have an ‘official’ Android port of the eBay application in BlackBerry World it has not seen any updates since initial release and unfortunately the app is slow, and under-supported. Luckily for us, Tundra Core Studios has helped aid the gap by rebuilding their application to a full native experience with Cascades.

Shopping for ebay brings the rich mobile web eBay experience into a native wrapper, giving you full access to all that eBay had to offer. You have access to your profile to track your auctions, quick access to daily deals, quick settings to sort by region and currency as well. There are dedicated forward and back buttons for easy navigation as well as a share option to share items to twitter, into emails and beyond.

The application is currently supported via ads within the app which can be removed with an in-app purchase. I honestly didn’t mind the ads in my use, but to support the developer I’d happily make the purchase. It’s great to see strong reviews for the app in BlackBerry World and I’m thankful 3rd party devs are really working to bridge the gap with native alternatives for this platform.

Shopping for eBay is free to download, go give it a try if you frequent eBay (I know I certainty do). The 2.7.0 changelog will be listed below.
