PayPal launches mobile-checkout service

Eyeing the small but growing number of consumers using their cell phones to make purchases, Paypal has launched Mobile Checkout, writes DMNews.

"The new service from the ebay division enables consumers in the US, UK and Canada to visit a merchant’s Web site and purchase items by clicking on the PayPal button, all from their mobile device.

The mobile Web service joins a text-message-based payment service that PayPal introduced in April 2006, which allows consumers to buy, donate or send money using a text-message-based service from their mobile devices."
