Do you use PayPal to pay for goods or ebay purchases, if you currently use paypal from your pc you can now use your mobile phone to send money and pay for goods bought online if you are away from your PC at home.

Using PayPal Mobile's "Text to Buy" service, consumers will be able to make instant purchases, such as CDs, DVDs, shoes and clothes, by sending product codes via text message. Items will then be delivered to home addresses already saved in the buyers' PayPal accounts.

Merchants who have signed up to PayPal's new mobile service will be able to open new direct sales channels to buyers, while consumers will be able to see an advertisement - in a magazine, or on TV for example - and purchase products immediately. PayPal Mobile will also enable users to donate money to charities, instantly.
