eBay bids a real snap
August 10, 2007 12:00am
EBAY is launching a five-minute "speed shopping" auction format aimed at ultra-competitive buyers.
The internet auction site will trial Speed eBay in three UK cities this month.
The auction website will set up touch-screen "pods" in public venues where up to three shoppers can bid against each other for a maximum five minutes.
Shoppers using the touch screens will compete only against each other and not against other online bidders
