O2 is set to announce it has signed up auction giant eBay to its i-mode mobile internet service.
The service, which can already be accessed via i-mode enabled handsets, is thought to be receiving its official launch soon.
eBay will now be able to offer its users the chance to check their auctions on the move, with a version of the site specially optimised for use on mobile handsets, using technology developed by NTT DoCoMo in Japan.
The i-mode version of eBay provides most of the same functionality as the regular internet service, including the ability to bid, search the auction site and monitor the progress of auctions using the my eBay function.
