Techcrunch has a story about eBay’s growing revenues from mobile commerce. eBay has just announced the launch of two new iphone apps and released some stats on its sales through mobile devices:
– $1.5 billion worth of goods sold via mobile phones in 2010
– over a 100% increase on sales in in 2009 ($600 million)
– iphone app downloaded 8 m times and 1 item is bought on ebay using a mobile every 2 seconds
It is clear that mobile commerce is really starting to reach lift off. Clearly as the money moves onto mobile, affiliate marketing won’t be far behind.
