Sell it Mobile, eBay edition, making eBay mobile
This new service enables you to sell and manage eBay auctions via your mobile phone.You can for instance take snapshots of the items you want to sell and upload to eBay. You can also speak the description of the item that the service will then convert into text. The conversion to text is done centrally.
The phone needs to support Java ME and both voice recording and snapshots are done via the Java ME application.
Kurtis Meloche at Atseta informed me that some of the phones supported now are Nokia 6682, Motorola Razr and the Sony Ericsson W series, but they will release support for more phones shortly, and they are also developing a BREW version. He also mentioned that Atseta recommends a 1.0+ Mpixel camera (yet a camera is not a requirement) and a display resolution of at least 176*220 (which most newer phones meet or exceed).
Sell it Mobile - eBay edition, the easiest way to sell online using your mobile phone.
