According to an AP story, eBay said shoppers bought 1.5M items from cell phones during holiday season, a fourfold increase.

Other interesting stats unveiled by eBay include:

>> Holiday mobile purchases include a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette that sold for $75,000 and a 23-foot boat that sold for $19,108.

>> Counting both mobile and traditional online purchases, eBay users bought more than 500,000 Zhu Zhu Pets robotic hamsters.

>> Nearly 6 million people have eBay's applications on iPhones and people use mobile apps to visit its site more than 2 million times each day.

The iPhone wasn't the only way to get to eBay. For example, from a Palm Centro, you can use iambic's SnappySeeker to search eBay. SnappySeeker is also available for the Treo Pro (Windows Mobile) and other smartphones.
