According to this tech article I saw in theage.com.au, PayPal has unveiled Mobile Checkout — allowing users with a PayPal account to purchase goods on the fly.

Unfortunately I can’t find info yet on PayPal’s website.

PayPal is reported to have already signed up several partners including Hoyts, Warner Music, Deals Direct, Ready Flowers and Mobile Wine Club… some of which will start offering payments via mobiles today. And within a few months, the service is set to expand to include user-to-user PayPal transfers and payments and donations via SMS.

As the article also reports, combining eBay bidding and buying with mobile checkout means a user could be sitting in their local pub and fully complete an online purchase, without the need for a computer… that’s a great range of additions to online buying options and helps to even further expand the reach of media like eBay and websites for online commerce.
