Looks like eBay Now, eBay’s same-day delivery service, is ready to take on orders from the Web. The company has restricted same-day deliver orders to its iOS and Android apps, but opened up an actual website today.
While there has been a huge uptick in mobile shopping in the last few years, websites still provide prime real estate for retailers to display their products. Ebay Now promises to deliver anything listed on its apps, and now its website, within an hour for only $5. The company thus far has only served the San Francisco and New York areas, though it seems with this expansion, eBay Now is available to Brooklyn, Queens, and new cities around the Bay Area.
Dane Glasgow, eBay’s vice president of mobile and local, explained at VentureBeat’s MobileBeat conference that the company has relied a lot on the context that the mobile phone gives you about a customer. Ebay looks at a bunch of different elements such as the a person’s location, information about their device, and more to come up with the best user experience. People seem to input this kind of information on the website, identifying where they are and what they’re looking for through search terms.
We’ve contact eBay for more on what the website means for Now and will update upon hearing back.
We’ll soon see whether the website drives more traffic to eBay Now, and whether the team is scaled out enough to handle it. Until then, happy instant-gratification online shopping!
