this would come in handy, but I think I'd rather pay one up-front cost than monthly. If you are a big seller, you would likely need this.

:confused totally:
Umm... Why would I pay for something that eBay gives away for free?
wap.ebay.com
Sure, it's WML, but, umm, that's the point right? Works great with PocketIE and any of the phones I've tried.
I haven't actually _tried_ abidia, but I've found that when I just want to quickly review pending auctions wap.ebay.com works great (when going to the my ebay page). WHen I really want to search, etc., Thunderhawk to the rescue.
Now if there was a WAP version of www.auctionsniper.com... that would more useful, but not with a "per month" pricing model.

Am I wrong in understanding that it's usage is billed via normal GPRS channels?
Having had a look at it, and a brief 'play', on a P900, seems quite useful in itself - although I haven't checked out the wap version etc etc yet...

Err - Because you pay for your connection anyway, so perhaps the interface is better?
I still don't know if I've got the wrong end of the stick here or what... Someone care to put me out of my misery?! :lol:
