eBay Now Available On Desktop

After eBay finally straightened out its logo and became ebay (it’ll always be camel-cased in our hearts) it seemed only logical that the site itself would get a long overdue facelift too. At a press event today in NYC the tenacious dot-com holdover unveiled the most dramatic redesign of its long and storied existence. The look has been compared, repeatedly in the media, to Pinterest with its endless, uneven grid of product boxes and curated feed of auctions. The design is cleaner, with less text and better suited to scale for mobile and the upcoming onslaught of touchscreens. You can also like auctions on Facebook, which it hopes will drive more traffic to the site. The company quietly launched eBay Lifestyle Deals as well, a local coupon service in the vein of Groupon and Google Offers. Right now the deals are only available in a few major cities, including Washington DC, San Francisco and LA. SF is also the beneficiary of eBay Now, the same-day delivery service that entered beta testing in early August. There isn’t an immediate expansion to accompany the end of the trial, but more cities should be added soon. If you’re not seeing the new design yet, look for the “Feeds” option on the home page to switch over now.

Good news to all folks in “The City”. Online auction and shopping behemoth eBay is launching a new same-day delivery program in San Francisco. It’s called eBay Now, and it is now available in beta for iOS devices. Essentially, eBay Now allows shoppers to make purchases from local stores and receive them on the same day after paying the $5 same-day shipping fee. eBay is still inviting San Francisco shoppers to sign up to the beta version of eBay Now.
eBay is also announcing an introductory offer to ramp up the popularity of the service. eBay will cut off $15 from your first purchase and will even waive off the $5 shipping fee on your first three purchases. eBay Now is open between 9 AM and 9 PM, from Mondays to Saturdays, and from 9 AM to 6 PM on Sundays. Deliveries can arrive in an hour, but the orders will have to be made at least half an hour before the store closes. eBay has partnered with major retailers including Macy’s, Toys’R’Us, Target, and Best Buy. You can sign up here.

eBay Now to offer same-day shipping from local stores, launching iOS beta in San Francisco
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Need something today, but can’t bother yourself with a trip to the store? Apparently, there’s going to be an app for that — at least in San Francisco. Local eBay users have started receiving beta invites for eBay Now, an iOS app that will allow shoppers to pick up items from local stores without leaving the house. eBay is offering beta users $15 off of their first order and free same-day delivery for their first three. Orders will come with a $5 delivery charge once the freebies are used up, forcing users to weigh the value of their time against the frustrations of local parking. The service is only available in San Francisco at the moment, but feel free to hit up the source link below to toss your name in the Beta raffle bucket anyway.
