Carphone Warehouse has launched a new auction website dedicated to the sale of mobile phones and accessories in an attempt to compete with eBay in this space.
The site, mymobileauction.com, offers buyers the chance to search and bid for mobiles as they would on eBay, and allows those looking for a mobile to narrow down their search.
Carphone Warehouse has announced an agreement to purchase AOL’s UK internet access business for £370m.
The retailer is believed to have fought off competition from BSkyB for the ISP, whose sale forms part of AOL’s refocus from subscriptions onto ad revenues.
