Abstract
A business method for mobile commerce includes a first buyer purchasing an item from a Internet-based vendor using a first mobile computing device. A shopping history is developed. A second buyer, using a second mobile computing device, interrogates the shopping history of the first buyer to discover certain parameters regarding an article of interest to the second buyer owned by the first buyer. The item is then purchased by the second buyer using shopping history information provided by the first mobile computing device. The method also includes electronically transferring funds to the vendor with at least some of the funds being electronically transferred to the first mobile consumer as a referral fee.
