Create shipping labels & pay postage fees in eBay app for Android.

This is an update that will certainly please my American friends and readers. eBay today published an update to the store that lets its American customers create shipping labels and pay for postage within the app. While new to eBay, this type of service is common and well established in the United States - perhaps in other countries as well. Americans can easily buy U.S. stamps on the web and print them on labels designed for that purpose. It only make sense to have this service integrated in apps.

The update contains other features as listed below:

• Reminders list is available from the home page
• New checkout features in Germany and Australia
• Improved performance and speed
• Bug fixes.

Download the eBay app free in Google Play store.

Official eBay app supports custom ringtones and "Quiet times"

The official eBay app for Android got an update yesterday that lets users personalize eBay notifications with custom ringtones. Also included is the ability to set "quiet times", a feature that will silence the notifications during work time or at night and help you focus on what is important during those times.

What's in this version:

v2.1.2
✓ Personalize your eBay notifications with custom ringtones!
✓ Silence notification sounds while sleeping or at work with the 'Quiet times' setting.
✓ The new streamlined checkout flow makes paying for your items faster and easier than ever.
✓ Bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Note: Notifications are now being delivered via Google Cloud Messaging. This requires you to give a new permission before it can be installed.
