How Google, eBay, And PayPal Are Gearing Up For A Very Mobile Holiday Shopping Season
Online holiday shopping reached record levels in 2010. And e-commerce spending is up this year. All signs point to consumers spending even more online this holiday season. I sat down with executives from Google, eBay, PayPal and ShopKick to discuss the trends that are expected to emerge in the e-commerce space over the next few months. They center around mobile, tablets, and deals.PayPal has more than doubled its mobile payments volume since the 2010 holiday shopping season, and we haven't even hit the thick of this year's rush. eBay is projecting $5 billion in mobile payments volume in 2010 and this number could increase in the next few months. And Google projects that 15 percent of total search on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving and one of the biggest shopping days of the year) will come from mobile devices. Tablet devices are now a part of the online shopping experience and retailers are taking note. Clearly, all signs point to the fact that this could be the breakout year for mobile shopping.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/lP7NSKfLBgA/
