As for the latest update to eBay for iPad, it's decidedly more feature-packed. Perhaps the most significant new feature of eBay for iPad is Night Mode. This gives you the flexibility to switch, either automatically or manually, to a subdued black theme for easier viewing at night or in a dark environment.

Moreover, the newly updated eBay for iPad includes the following improvements for buyers:
  • Faster Search: Tapping any search refinement runs a new, live search result with immediate feedback.
  • Need to say something special? You can now leave a note to the seller during the checkout flow.
  • Like what you bought? Making another purchase is as easy as tapping “Buy Another”.
  • Ever wonder where your item is shipping from? Display that item location on a map.
  • Don't miss out: Push notifications now remind you when items in your Shopping Cart are about to end.
  • Stay organized: You can once again delete individual recent searches.
And it also includes the following improvements for sellers:
  • Extend your reach: Sellers in the US can now opt-into eBay's Global Shipping Program.
  • Zero-day Handling Times: A handling time of "zero" can now be specified for those ultra-fast shippers.
