The folks over at eBay Inc have been pretty busy trying to give you an even better overall buying and selling experience. Especially if you're an Android user. The official eBay application for Android has received a nice little do-over with some excellent integrated functionality. You can now sell an item using your smartphone from beginning to end when there's no camera or PC in view. The application allows you to upload up to eight pictures of your item and use the bar code scanner functionality to pre fill item info on almost any product. You can edit or revise an item you're selling, re-list an item that didn't sell and even “sell one like this” for similar items, all from the comfort of your Android smartphone. This app has functional written all over it, especially if you make your living using eBay, which I know individuals that do. Schedule auctions, reply to sellers and buyers alike and mark items shipped all while on the go. The days of waiting until you get back home are long gone.

The home screen has also been adjusted to add some more features and options to help with searching for items such as condition, free shipping, location, completed listings and sold items only. Overall, I also noticed a boost in performance. The app no longer lags and loads up my criteria fairly quickly compared to previous versions. Thanks eBay, much appreciated. If you don't already have the official eBay application you can grab it from our popular apps database or you can snag it on the Android Market. Don't forget to let us know what you think in the comments below. Hit the break to check out some more screen shots of the application itself.

Joe Sirianni Author

Joe was born in New Jersey and spent most of his childhood moving around from state to state. He eventually made his way to Pennsylvania where he met his Portuguese beauty and made her his wife. He now has three great kids and full access to all of the Portuguese food he can eat. Joe's love for mobile technology began when he bought his first Palm Pilot, a Palm M130 and left it on top of his car, driving off, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces. Forced to buy a new device, he quickly discovered that specs were changing so rapidly he was buying a new device every six months just to keep up. Since then, he has constantly felt the need to have the latest and greatest. When the "smartphone" revolution began and integrating cell phones and PDA's was the norm, he quickly jumped to Windows Mobile for several years until the first Android device was launched, the T-Mobile G1. Joe began appreciating all of the free utilities Google provided and sold his soul (his precious data) to Google long before they got into the mobile OS business. So, there was no hesitation at all for him to jump on board and ride the Android train as an early adopter. And boy has it been a blast. Joe now works in the Engineering & Operations dept for a major mobile carrier where he remotely troubleshoots cell sites and loves being an Editor for TalkAndroid.
