• Easy to use

  by fields1701

  I like the easy features, was only thinking about using the app to view items but went all the way to publishing my item with no problems. Thank you.

• Miss one of the older revisions

  by Jermunji

  The mew IOS 7 version is far to bloated visually and lacks the smoothness of one of the older versions. I used to come on ebay everyday but now, its so visually overwhelming it takes extra effort just to analyze everything going on on the screen which is uncomfortable. Just doesn't feel second hand like it used to. But otherwise the app is fine.

• Awesome

  by Ayaya313

  Awesome!

• Awesome.

  by JMFerranto

  Awesome.

• One app that is as good as browser based site

  by Over TP

  Buy side excellent. Sell side the site is better for creating postings. The app is still clunky manipulating pictures.

• A+A+A works great!!

• Grate App

  by Triggerfish-25

  The eBay App has been grate for me. I have been able to do more with this App than any other App I have use. It has saves me money on fixing things around the house. I can look all over the US and the world to find what I need at a very reasonable price or what I can afford. I love this App. Thank You eBay!

  Easy to use and effective.

• Excellent!!!

  by Jiggin4U

  Ez!!!

• Less is not more

  by Ebpstudio

  When buying on eBay you want the most information possible and some how to make this prettier this app became less informative on the product I love eBay but with this I'll be using the web site more :.(

• yup

  by Bubbles r fun

  Good stuff, just what you need.

• Great app

  by J ..J..

  I really like it,great app

• Beautiful, functional format

  by TheCoytoteDreams

  I like the layout, easy photo viewing convenient listing breakdown when selling.

• From bad to worse

  by Bad ebay

  This new version is unusable. The search filters function only a small percent of the time making this app essentially useless. When they do function you have to wonder if you are getting the correct results. They have increased the number of taps that it takes to view a listings description which makes a clunky app even less user friendly. If you are in the middle of viewing listings and accidentally hit the home button, everything is lost and you must start over.

• Trash

  by Richy rich5

  This app is trash on the iPad. Filters doesn't work. If I search for shoe size "11" I will see every shoe size except for size 11. Great app on the iPhone though. Horrible for the iPad please fix

• Latest update crashes too often

  by Unhappy eBay user

  Update: The app still crashes far too often while I'm working on posting an item for sale. I shouldn't have to 'Save and Close' the listing every few minutes to be safe. *** When I'm selling an item and going into the 'Shipping' tab to adjust the specifications, the app crashes and all unsaved work is lost. This happens far too frequently since I updated the app to the current version, but hey, I can put it on night mode to save energy, so it all balances out, right? You know what else saves energy? Not opening this app. Locate the problem and repair it, please.

• Nice APP

  by SheepSausage

  The new version is very easy to use I like the user friendly interface.

• Excellent app

  by Bluewind Hawaii

  I use it all the time to buy and sell on ebay. Never any problems. Works great.

• Very slow.

  by MikeNOh

  My biggest problem with the eBay app is that it takes forever to load. I've also had problems with my watched items vanishing and with saved searches not searching with the parameters I set. I do like that you customize the home screen, but again it takes forever to load it's as if eBay is on dial-up.

• Love eBay on the go

  by Rayne1977

  I love having eBay on the go and not having to pull out my laptop to use it

• Missing items from watch list

  by G3ordy

  There are things missing from my watch list on the app that are on my watch list on ebay's website.

• Grat app

  by jjclocks

  Does exactly what it should. No glitches!

• eBay App Review

  by Spisol

  I've been using it for about a week now and it seems to be working great. It's better for the iPad than the regular version. It's not as full featured as the PC version but it doesn't need to be. It seems to have all the features and functions that I need. If I want more I can always get the laptop out and use it. If I'm doing simple searches to buy something, I find what I'm looking for and the whole experience is good, so far anyway. If I was going to put something on eBay to sell, I would do it on my laptop because I am more familiar with it and comfortable doing it because of previous experience on my laptop. However, i believe I could do it on this App if I didn't mind taking a little longer to learn the process. I feel comfortable recommending the App to others using their iPad or tablet.

• Works for me!

  by Jimmy Barraza's iPhone 5

  Like the way my iPad mini works well with it.

• Needs an update

  by Chet 3

  Ever since the last update all the app does is crash and it takes a VERY long time to load or search if you can get to that point! Fix this quick please been happening far to long. I am using iPad and the latest apple version of Ebay.

• Works well

  by my0key

  Works well for me I haven't had any problems with it.

• Easy and convenient app. Love it!

  by Tmj71ss

  Great app!

• It's ok

  by Gunny101

  I like it, but still slow & they could make it easier to navigate. I still use the app more than the website or on PC :)

• Awesome

  by Beto_25

  Love this app

• When it works...It works great

  by Pistol Annie

  I really like the app and concept, but often times I watch it clocking and waiting for the pictures to load more than actually searching and buying stuff.

• Love this app

  by Jazzdude0628

  When I shop I use the app and it does everything I need it to.

• Great app

  by Johnneb

  I use this all the time. It works very fast on my iPad.

• Functional

  by craigwo1968

  I use eBay about once every couple years. I expected more. It worked fine. No issues. Great to check progress. Did all major on IMac.

• Works too good

  Need better description of items

• Nice

  by Sexy Hill

  Super nice

• Has many needed features

  by Trilliannnn

  I love my ebaying. But there's a lot of thing the app can't do that the full web version does. Really need all the same features on the app.

• Great design on iPad

  by Ricky Palacios

  App looks way better on iPad. Seems like there's more features available in one page. No bugs. Makes selling easier.

• Smooth experience

  by Gybem

  Great, well though application, makes it much easier, love how you can flip pictures

• Getting better

  by Fiz the good

  App has gotten much better since i started using it. Stable, clean interface, intuitive, much better than the website version! But still room for new features. Some of the more complex actions are not accessible from the app, like opening dispute cases and other specialty things, still require the website.

• Love this app

  by Vschrepf

  This app is so much easier then the web app and it's so easy to search and process your bids and purchases. To date this app has saved me tons of money and all the items that I've purchased arrived on time and performed as quoted by the seller.

  I have really enjoyed this! It's almost as good as the desktop. Easy to shop, easy see what they have in any category, easy to use.

• Great App No Complaints

  by Shipalel

  Absolutely Awesome!!!

• Very Good!

  by 1025IA

  This app does everything that I would want it to and more! Not a very long loading time, very nice searching. I have sold a few items on here, and haven't had any problems like some others say they have concerning selling. There were other issues though.. After I had this app for awhile, I would open it, and it would say there were no items in the "watching" list or the "sold" list when there was before. So I just reinstalled it, and everything works fine now. Thanks for the app, very usefull!

• Great app

  by Debby&Madison

  Love it!!!

• Could be better

  by Ms. Laurie

  In a sense I like this app, but lacks all the convenience of the website. I like that I can scan an item! What I don't like is the app doesn't let use shipping the way I prefer. I also have a problem being notified or the app doesn't update with info until I actually open it.

• Handy but Crashes....lost some entries

  by Malicarden

  Its worth downloading so you can work on your stuff in your spare time, but I suggest saving after every change you make to your items for sale. I lost my description when I moved on to the shipping info. It seems to crash around that point. Also it is lacking some options that the website offers. It would be nice to see some of these things worked out going forward.

• Ebay

  by Don.C.me

  Love the app. Use it all the time.

• Love it

  by Frances Ridley

  It's easy to use and I use it all the time

• Nice App

  by CAP001

  I'm both a buyer and a seller on eBay. From a buyers perspective, I love this app and have zero complaints. From a seller perspective, the app has come a long way and it is now easier to list items for sale. I still find it easier to create listings from my laptop; however, listing through the app is fairly simple.

• Works good but...

  by JonathanMarcella

  I wish I could manage my paypal account options too... Besides that is a great app

• :)

  by Cesar5312

  I like it .....;

• Don't like the layout and crashes

  by v2or

  I'm using a iPad Air and I don't like the layout very much. I also have numerous crashes when looking at items and picking the watch tab.

• Nice

  by bobdewill.703

  I don't always write review , but when I do, it means a lot, another word very good. Stay thirsty my friends

• eBay app.

  by Golfsleepmaster

  Works excellently. Secure. Quick. Easy to use, and stays personal. Love it.

• Str8

  by Bignigonthablock907

  I've never had any issues with it .. And I shop a lot so it's cool in my book

• Needs more functionality

  by watersniper

  I still have to log onto my desktop to maneuver certain seller features in eBay. What a pain. As a casual eBay browser, it's great.

• Works great!

  by JACPCOLA

  Love my eBay app! Easy to buy and sell!

• Slow clunky

  by Kd4lgq

  It crashes a lot. Very slow, doesn't respond to taps when launched. Then crashes for no reason. This app won't run on an iPad gen 1. Runs poorly on gen two. Sorry eBay programmers... Back to the drawing board on thus one...

• Great app

  by Coleslawter

  Great app

• Love This App.

  by Carol Amy T

  I love this app..prefer it to actual site and only use the app. This is among the very bast apps in existence. It is complete, fast and so easy to use. There are multiple viewing options which really does help in decision and bidding processes.

• Love it

  by jonbiggstaylor

  Great app. Makes it much easier than website. Love it

• Just Plain Fun!!

  by JCat1212

  Fun Fun Fun!!!!! Love this App! Whether buying or selling this App makes it easy and enjoyable. Very intuitive, great for the not too techie set!! Makes shopping fun! Watch your favorite items! Follow your top sellers! Keep track of your listings! Fast and effective. Just Get It!!!!

• Great

  by steffers09

  I really have gotten to like this app. The format gets a little confusing sometimes but I like it. It is organized and I love the notifications when the items will be ending soon! You should definitely try it out! :)

• Only use in a pinch

  by Horribly Buggy

  eBay has given extensive thought to the facility of their site from the sellers standpoint. This app is for buyers mostly with only rudimentary features for sellers. If this is due to proprietary issues of Apple that is one thing but if it is due to lack of development of the app by eBay, that is quite another.

• Excellent App

  by Johnny the 8th I am

  Makes Ebaying on my mobile device easy and fun. Great job

• Slow, awkward, annoying

  by WebGrrlFL

  This update has installed a very slow and laggy program on this iPad. I also find the new UI to be annoying. It should be one tap to read the description not scroll then tap. Unless you want people buying stuff without reading descriptions maybe. Always read the description is the guiding rule, and this app should make that easier not harder. Also fix the crazy slow load time, please. Update: apparently the app has a nag function to get you to review it. Well, the concerns I mentioned are still a problem, and I see mention of a back button and that sounds like a good idea, except that I don't have one. I have to go home to start over all the time. Due to the nag function and further annoyance of the slow and awkward app, I am dropping a star. Please speed up the start an make it simpler to see the seller's description.

• Limited functions

  by bikeboss

  Cant contact sellers, or sort by expedited shipping options.

• So easy to list items to sell & so user-friendly!!!!!

  by Littleluskkat

  This app is wonderful. It's so user-friendly it makes my time for listing items so just as easy as 123! I've been using eBay for years and this has just made my life so much easier. This is a must-have app!

• Better and better

  by cy92677

  Really been getting better and better over the years. It would be great if they incorporated some form of tracking and update feature to packages being delivered. Keep improving.

• Great app

  by Canesfan311

  Great App

• Great App

  by smaodeu

  It is a very good App. I use it all the time as buyer without any problems. User friendly.

• Too Slow To Start

  by MustangGeeTee

  The eBay app for iPad takes about 3 or 4 times longer to start up compared to the iPhone version. If my iPhone is handy, I'll grab it to use eBay 100% of the time. Please work on speeding up the iPad version. It didn't used to be like this!!

• eBay app for iPad

  by who, what, why, when, and how?

  The app is great. Easy to use.

• eBay app is Great!

  by Brandyred

  I love this app! I get to keep an eye on the items I am watching, selling, and buying!

• Downgraded

  by Gjdrvhjjhv

  Prefer the iPhone app, too much on here making it more complex n confusing. Shouldn't have made the recent upgrades, better prior.

• Works well for me :)

  by Key_Key!

  I like this app it's very user friendly and works well for me... I haven't had any problems with it.. The only thing that bothers me is if I am outbid and wish to not bid anymore the notification still shows up on the app. But other than that it's good :)

• Love this app

  by Jen Lyon

  I love eBay and this app is awesome !!!!

• Easy app

  by Zachttak

  This app makes using eBay so simple

• Friend

  by ZVBenny

  I have been on ebay buying and selling for 12 years.I have many problems with this app that makes it impossible to use without having to go back and forth to my desktop computer. Here are some of the annoying features you will encounter. 1.slow loading even with super fast internet connection 2. No invoicing capability 3. Loses photos when relisting 4. Shows wrong sequence in sell times 5. You cannot check on your highest bid when buying 6. Frequent crashes

• Very Functional...

  by JaredJF

  Functional and beautiful interface, though two suggestions: No need for separate iPad and iPhone apps; just make one universal app. The auto brightness setting rarely works. All the time I have to manually select the dark theme at night...

• Convenient alternative with a nice interface: easy to spend$

  by crcdj

  It's a good way to browse for items. Some features are easier to use than the computer.

• Very hard to do much serious searching

  by JAK2007

  The app is better than previous versions now, but the search functionality is really lacking for any real 'power' searching. For example, I like watches. If I try to search for 6 specific brands, using the brand sort provided in the app, it just doesn't work. Hundreds of other brands show up. If I search for 'Hamilton' watches in the 'wristwatch' category (vs the watch parts category), I get thousands of watch part hits anyway, and few actual watches. Finally, when using more than 25 or so filters - like watch brands - the system won't seem to hold them, throwing an error message every time. It's fine for basics, but not for real searching. (And as many say on the chat boards, the 'reserve not met' feature blows). It isn't an app issue, but an eBay issue. As others have also said, it would be great if you could set trips or push notifications to alert you when an auction for a specific thing was ending in X minutes and was currently holding under $X.

• I love shopping eBay!

  by Bishopojw

  This is an awesome app! I have enjoyed using it for years.

• Few problems

  by Salemp2

  I love eBay and the whole shopping experience, I have not really had many issues negatively with the app and it often times seem to work faster than my desktop. The few problems I have had such as a page not loading right, or not clearly keeping up with ended items, I have enjoyed full use of the app and will continue to use it! Shopping is so much more enjoyable when I can find an item and checkout without major issues!!
