The e-commerce heavyweight is continuing its hyper-local push by expanding same-day delivery into Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bay Area Peninsula, with in-store pickup and scheduled deliveries coming soon. In the latest stage of eBay’s local evolution, the company unveiled this morning a desktop version of eBay Now, its $5 service that promises delivery in about an hour, as well as expansion of the offering into Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bay Area Peninsula. “We’ve seen a strong desire to have eBay Now across all platforms,” Dane Glasgow, eBay’s VP of mobile and local, says of the app, which was previously only available on iOS and Android. Customers located in San Jose, San Francisco, and New York, including the newly announced surrounding areas, can now access the service from eBay.com.
