eBay for iOS Updated with Multiple Item Checkout, Driver's License Scanning

by

eBay today released updates to its iPhone and iPad apps, offering a redesigned user interface that includes multiple search views, an improved bidding process for ending auctions, and new shopping cart functionality.

With the new shopping cart, users can add multiple items to the cart and purchase them at the same time with a single payment. The app also features larger photos and better search results, with the iPad version of the app sporting new photo editing tools.

Analysis of your driver's license has determined the following:

* You have one or more DUI's on your account
* You have [3] speeding tickets.
* You are wanted in California


This has resulted in an increase of 65% in your Final Value Fee.

You believe wrong. They do. And scam was my first thought too, but then try logging into your account, and find you dont even have access without going through their investigations interface. Only after complying with their every demand and emailing and calling and arguing through hours of their investigators BS on why they have to put an indefinite rolling hold on your $10,000, do you even gain access to your account to see that they've done it. And only when you start spending money on letters drafted by attorneys do you get them to back off and hand over your funds. I could go on, but this threads dead.

Two crap companies that just keep getting worse every year. Thankfully they're both under investigation themselves for shady billing practices and what in some cases amounts to racketeering.
Very interesting. Thank you for the info.

Scanning your DL serves as a way to identify a seller during sign in, serving as a good measure to prevent scams.

The magnetic strip of your DL simply contains all the information already printed in the front.

In some liquor stores, the clerk asks you for your license, and swipes it on the card reader of their register, and it will tell the clerk whether or not you are authorized to buy liquor based on your D.O.B. stored on the magnetic strip
