[Some items from Macy’s, available for delivery through eBay Now]
If you live in San Francisco, San Jose and New York, you’re in luck – eBay Now is here for you! The new site, available from 9am-9pm Monday -Saturday and from 9am-6pm Sundays is a valet service in the listed launch cities that once you log in with your eBay account, can scroll through retailers’ merchandise from stores such as Home Depot, Macy’s, Office Depot, Radio Shack, Target, Toys R Us, Urban Outfitters, Walgreens, and more, check out, and have the goods delivered to wherever you are for same-day service, which can be in as little as an hour!
Pretty genius, right? This is great for travelers, new moms, if you have a cold, or just need something in a jiffy, like a present, and don’t have time to make it to the store. The order minimum is $25, with a $5 delivery per store, with a tip for your valet as optional.
