Actually, it is live on App World. It showed me the update about 15 minutes ago and I've already updated it through App World on my 8100.

Ya, it shows for some..not for others. Depends really but that's why we always try to offer an alternative link as well. :)

Would love to be able to do little things like highlight a seller and save as a fave, etc......

True seller support would be great......

Is eBay still relevant? I can't remember the last time I used eBay for anything, though I suspect it was around the time they changed their privacy settings to let fraudsters hide more effectively.

I love ebay, but I was hoping to be able to list items from my blackberry with this up-date.

My thoughts exactly!

yeah, i cant seem to get this update from the direct download link or app world. i tried alt+rstr and that didnt work. when i tried the direct download link it just got stuck on the loading ebay on device screen. im using a 9700 with os 6. ah well...

We need an amazon app. I'm so seriously...

There is an Amazon app for BlackBerry, and it's pretty slick. Go to www.amazon.com/bb on your phone.

Gotta love the Crackberry community, thank you!

As it is US only. Spoke to someone on the Amazon helpline - they couldn't understand what I meant by the app, kept talking about the site or my handset!

jorGeorge Dec 2, 2010 at 2:52 pm

This soft S***S big time as It always says that my 9700 is not supported and cannot install.
This is ridiculous! Come on ebay I am sure you can do something better!
