Ebay is updated inspired by apple music

Yesterday, the eBay shopping platform announced "Interests", a new function that aims to adjust the shopping experience of users of iOS and Android devices to their personal tastes, hobbies and style. According to the company, this new feature is intended to make it easier for us to find unique items that interest us among the vast variety of products available on eBay.

eBay is committed to personalizing your purchases

And with the announcement of this new feature, comparisons were swift. The base of "Interests" lies in a questionnaire in which eBay will ask users for aspects related to their tastes, interests, hobbies, activities, styles… And similarly to what happens in Apple Music, the user will respond by touching the bubbles that appear on the screen. Once this is done, the system will match your choices with pre-existing navigation patterns, combining all this information to select "the things you love, and things you didn't even know you love."

Despite the similarity, they do not hide on eBay that the Apple Music system has inspired them, since eBay's own boss, Bradford Shellhammer, has confirmed this. In the Apple app, tap on the genres and artists you like, double-tap to love them, and tap and hold to remove the ones you don't like.

The Interests questionnaire was influenced by the questions that Apple Music asks users to provide them with the best possible recommendations. "We want him to tell us what he likes, let's take a look at his behavior and take him to his own personal store, " he says.

For the past few months, eBay has been rolling out a number of enhancements to its mobile apps, including a barcode scanning feature that speeds up the search for specific products on the platform, as well as the ability to search for products with images.
