The launch of Watch With eBay for iPad could come as good news to shopaholics who happen to be Apple fans. This software was initially available as a feature on the eBay for iPad app, but can now be downloaded as a standalone application for the Cupertino company’s slate.
As the name suggests, the app primarily aims to sync shopping and entertainment by means of iPads. This trend of shopping on devices while watching programs on television dubbed ‘couch commerce,’ seems to be picking up in popularity rather quickly.
Basically, users will have access to merchandise like musical DVDs or autographed goodies which are related to the stuff they’re watching on TV. People may browse through content tied to their preferred shows and even organize it by category. Enthusiastic shoppers can scroll through designer offerings or sports memorabilia and much more.
Another attribute called Shop Like a Star allows users to pick up on items that their favorite actors or sports personalities are partial to. The list includes celebrities like Robert Duvall, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and many more. As an added enticement, some stars will communicate with consumers via message boards, real content and videos. eBay Celebrity will even give shoppers an opportunity to donate to charitable organizations.
Watch With eBay for iPad is available for download via iTunes. So those among the large percentage of people who use mobile devices while watching TV, may probably want to lay hands on this app.
