Well John Donahoe, Where Is Your eBay Motors Android App??

eBay CEO John Donahoe

eBay CEO John Donahoe

Well.. Where is it? :roll:

It’s the Christmas Shopping Season!

I have done a few searches and didn’t come up with anything.

For those of you that are just now tuning into this channel, here is the scoup.

On September 30th this year, ole eBay CEO John DonaHoe was seen blogging a video about how HOT eBay Mobile Device Sales were on his iPhone app.

He went on to brag about how well eBay Motors was doing with it’s own specific iPhone app. And claimed Motors was selling “2600 Cars EACH WEEK” with it’s iPhone app.

Donahoe went on to say how important mobile device platform coverage is for eBay.

Now far be it me to stir up any shit, BUT.. Where is it?? After all it really can’t be all that difficult to program one specifically for eBay Motors. And i can tell from the search results on this website alone there is a market for that keyword, people are searching for an “eBay Motors Android app”.

Plus if the iPhone Motors app was giving eBay Motors that many sales, I would think they would already had an Android Version out by the Christmas shopping season making them even more money!

Just think about all those car dealers with Droids, G2′s etc, scanning their newly purchased cars bar codes at auctions and uploading them to eBay Motors quick quick quick. With eBay Motors $50 per car listing fee that would add up quick!

Oh well.. It’s only unearned revenue. LOL!

So where is it?? Or was that a bunch of PR Bullshiz on this video?? :roll:

Ho Ho Ho.. Merry Christmas From eBay & John Donahoe!

Hehehehe..

Nothing like those eBay Deadbeat Bidders ruining the sellers eBay Experience.

eBay Deadbeat Bidders | A Car Is NOT Sold Until It’s Paid For!

eBay Motors Deadbeat Car Bidders

eBay considers a Car SOLD when it gets a bid or reaches the sellers reserve.

They also naturally consider a fixed price listing SOLD when someone clicks the Buy Now Button. But in the real world a vehicle is not sold until the deal is done and it’s paid for.
