The e-commerce giant says users purchased 1.5 million eBay items from either the eBay mobile website or the company&#8217;s iPhone application over the recent holiday season. That&#8217;s three times the amount sold during the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p>Just as eye-catching as the overall numbers are some of the individual purchases that eBay describes. I&#8217;m used to thinking of my iPhone as a place where I might make cheap, impulse purchases, but eBay says there were some big deals made on mobile phones, including the purchase of a $75,000 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, a $19,000 boat, and a $10,000 Steinway grand piano. I imagine these are buyers who decide on an item while on their computer and just happened to make the final bid on their phone.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, eBay says the site&#8217;s mobile transactions added up to half a billion dollars in 2009. The iPhone app has been downloaded nearly 6 million times, while the mobile site gets 750,000 unique visits per day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/pXS0NQ3fpbh8WKO-tLbCTMvAzgc\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/pXS0NQ3fpbh8WKO-tLbCTMvAzgc\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=v2JLGgIypKE:LvuD7zj0oJg:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_Venturebeat?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=v2JLGgIypKE:LvuD7zj0oJg:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_Venturebeat?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=v2JLGgIypKE:LvuD7zj0oJg:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_Venturebeat?i=v2JLGgIypKE:LvuD7zj0oJg:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=v2JLGgIypKE:LvuD7zj0oJg:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_Venturebeat?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Venturebeat?a=v2JLGgIypKE:LvuD7zj0oJg:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_Venturebeat?i=v2JLGgIypKE:LvuD7zj0oJg:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/7709d_v2JLGgIypKE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/Venturebeat\/~3\/v2JLGgIypKE\/\" >Read Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shoppers are doing more holiday gift-buying from their mobile phones, according to new numbers from eBay.
