You might have caught wind of the eBay app from the BlackBerry Developer Conference – well, it’s available now for download, allowing you to watch auctions, place bids, receive notifications of being outbid right in your Messages app, and enjoy native Calendar integration for reminders. Notifications all take advantage of the new push services, so you get notified of being outbid the second it happens, not five minutes after the auction’s wrapped up. eBay for BlackBerry works with PayPal, as you’d expect, but I wonder if there’s BlackBerry Wallet integration, too… There was talk at BBDC about the Wallet being linked to in-app purchaces. Anyway, see more of the eBay app and get downloading in the BlackBerry App World, or head over to eBay to see their other mobile offers.
