eBay Inc. “Cyber Monday” Mobile Shopping Data

Mobile shopping insights from eBay Inc. include data from eBay, the world’s largest online marketplace and a leader in mobile commerce, PayPal, a leader in fast, secure online and mobile payments, and GSI Commerce, a leading provider of ecommerce and interactive marketing services for the world’s premier brands and retailers.

• eBay Mobile announced that shoppers in the U.S. spent two and a half times more via eBay Mobile this Cyber Monday than last year

[LIVE TWEET EVENT] A Talk with @GSICommerce and @Forrester: How online buyers behave

Last month, eBay announced that it agreed to acquire GSI Commerce, a leading provider of online commerce solutions and interactive marketing services.

I’ve been following along with the GSI Commerce Blog to see what interesting discussions they’re having over there around eCommerce and this week they posted info about a Twitter chat they’re hosting with Forrester tomorrow that I thought would be of interest for Ink readers:

Join us on Twitter for a live chat with Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru on Friday, May 6, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. You can follow #GSIchat to join the live chat. The event will be moderated by John Sheldon, senior vice president @TrueAction and include other GSI Global Marketing Services companies @FetchBack, @ClearSaleing and @eDialog.

They plan on publicly discussing the findings and implications of the joint study GSI Commerce recently completed with Forrester: The Purchase Path of the Online Buyer. To download the report and find out more information check out the GSI Commerce blog post.

Cheers,
RBH

UPDATED: eBay has acquired GSI Commerce

Updated 6/20/11
eBay Inc. has completed its previously announced acquisition of GSI Commerce, Inc. and it is my great pleasure to be one of the first people to officially and publicly welcome them on board.

The stockholders of GSI approved the adoption of the merger agreement with eBay at the special meeting of stockholders held this past Friday and the merger became effective later that day.

eBay acquired all of the outstanding shares of GSI’s stock for $29.25 per share in cash, or total consideration of approximately $2.4 billion. GSI Commerce will operate as a separate business unit led by Chris Saridakis as its newly appointed president who will report directly to eBay CEO and President, John Donahoe.

Be sure to add the GSI Commerce blog to your blog roll (if you haven’t done so already) and follow along on Twitter @GSICommerce.

Cheers!
