[The Next Web] Thanksgiving 2013 mobile shopping: PayPal sees 91% increase, third-party verification up 114.7%

PayPal today revealed some statistics for yesterday’s holiday craze: compared to Thanksgiving 2012, the eBay-owned company saw a 91 percent increase in consumers shopping through PayPal mobile around the world. At the same time, this year’s Thanksgiving mobile third-party verification (TPV) increased by 114.7 percent compared to Thanksgiving 2012.

PayPal also revealed consumers in the US mainly took to their mobile devices to shop throughout the day. That being said, the busiest time was between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM PST (10:00 PM EST and 11:00 PM EST), presumably after dinner was well-settled in consumers’ stomachs.
