Eliminating one more barrier to online purchasing, Amazon will begin offering Sunday delivery in New York and Los Angeles this month via the U.S. Post Office.

Will this move boost sales? And, if so, how long will it be before every other major player follows? Time will tell, but, regardless, this is good news for customers (http://techcrunch.com/2013/11/11/amazon-sunday-delivery/).

The Silicon Valley e-commerce giant is acquiring Shutl, a U.K.-based company that became famous thanks to its ability to make same-day delivery of goods possible (http://shutl.com/blog/shutl-ebay/).

What do you think of this move? Will it enable eBay to up its same-day delivery game?
