VeriSign Alerts eBay
VeriSign, Inc. , the leading provider of intelligent infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, today announced that eBay will use its Intelligent Messaging Network to deliver mobile alerts within the United States so users can stay active in auction-style listings when away from their computers.
The VeriSign(R) Intelligent Messaging Network (VIMN) will power short message system (SMS) alerts to mobile devices enabling users to monitor eBay items during crucial end-of-listing periods and receive outbid notifications regardless of location.
eBay users are a diverse and passionate community of individuals and small businesses that trade millions of items each day. Responding quickly to timely information is a crucial component of the marketplace. As people become more mobile, wireless communications provide a way to respond quickly to critical information.
“eBay is committed to providing consumers with tools and services that allow them to succeed in the marketplace. These time-critical mobile alerts can improve response time to listings that are ending soon,” said Eric Shoup, group product manager, eBay Wireless.
