eBay unveils BlackBerry auction app

RIM's BlackBerry App World is gaining ground as a storefront for distributing BlackBerry applications, reports CNET News.

EBay is the latest major company to forge a presence in the storefront, in the form of an eBay app for BlackBerry auctioneers in the US and Canada. The official eBay for BlackBerry application, which was co-developed by eBay and RIM, includes features to search for, track, and buy an item from the smartphone.

Unsurprisingly, the eBay app accepts PayPal payment. PayPal has not only been an eBay company since 2002, it is also currently the only payment system for purchasing BlackBerry apps through the App World.
