Bid On eBay Items From Your Apple Watch

eBay’s most recent update of its iOS app, comes with Apple Watch integration as well as support for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. If the upgrade that perfectly accommodates eBay on the screens of Apple’s latest flagships, arrives with an about 9 month-long delay, the watchOS app lands in only about one month and a half, after the first wrist-worn gadgets where delivered to the initial pre-orderers.

Version 3.6.0 most impressive update is the option which allows you to bid on your watched eBay items, from the comfort of your wrist gadget. Other eBay specific actions are available if you download eBay for Apple Watch. In case you already have the software installed on your iPhone, open the App Store, tap on Updates tab and upgrade to the latest version. The app will be automatically installed on your Watch, after it updates on your iPhone, if the Automatically Download Apps setting is turned on. Else, you’ll have to open the Apple Watch app on your smartphone, browse to My Watch, search eBay within the app list and tap on Show App on Apple Watch.

eBay’s watchOS home screen shows four menu options: Activity, Watching, Buying and Selling. There’s no hidden menu, that can be made available via Force Touch.
