RedLaser, a barcode and QR code scanning mobile app acquired by eBay in 2010, launched RedLaser 3.0, which leverages local availability information from Milo, PayPal mobile express checkout and RedLaser barcode comparison shopping all within “one seamless experience.” As a result, shoppers are able to access both online and offline inventory, find the best price, purchase the item and either pick it up at a local store or have it delivered to their front door.

The new application also marks eBay’s first mobile retail partnership with Toys “R” Us, allowing RedLaser users to purchase toys at the best prices and avoid the lines by picking up their gifts from the closest Toys “R” Us retail location that same day.

In addition, RedLaser 3.0 also offers more pricing information, categorized shopping lists, as well as the ability to share them [lists] with friends via Facebook, SMS and email.

To sum things up, if you’re looking forward to spend some cash this Christmas, RedLaser could definitely help you out get more value for the money. Download it from the link below.
