The eBay app for Windows Phone was today updated to better serve shoppers outside of the United States and Canada. The update to version 1.5.1.20 brings a lot of features that international shoppers are sure to appreciate.

The eBay app's last major update came in April with a full-on redesign. The new update is more subtle, and not even something eBay users in the United States would be likely to notice. Here's what's new for those outside of North America:

  • Items flagged as GSP (Global Shipping Program) are now purchasable from within the app. This means fewer redirects to the eBay website and faster shopping.
  • Prices for items in My Feed are now displayed in the user's local currency

Additionally there have been other "various localization changes and corrections", as well as the standard bug fixes all around.

The newly updated eBay app is available now from the Windows Phone Store for free — get it now and let us know if your global shopping experience has been improved!
