eBay Marketplace for Facebook app launches

For those eBay members who are into the latest social networking craze on Facebook (be careful poking each other out there, folks), you may be interested in checking out the eBay Marketplace for Facebook application. It launched last week and popular industry blogs GigaOm and Mashable weighed in and gave their $.02.

With this Facebook plug-in, you can showcase what you've won (or lost!), share your watched items with trusted friends in your Facebook network, and even push items onto their eBay watch lists if you think they might be interested. Browsing your friends' items puts a whole new spin on the eBay experience.

Rolf Skyberg, part of our Platform & Innovation team here at eBay, was involved in launching this application. Rolf also recently blogged about why he thinks embracing social networks is like peanut butter and jelly - read his post, and see if you agree. :-)
