Selling real-world goods from an iphone App ?

Question

Amazon App does it and Fandango seems to as well, but did anyone tried to provide purchase of real-world goods (books, food, etc) from an iphone App ?

Another post is mentioning PayPal API as technically possible although very likely to be rejected by apple. In-App purchasing clearly states against selling real goods using this mechanism.

Another option i'm looking at is filling a basket from within the app and redirecting to a web page in mobile safari for payment.

Has anyone managed to implement this type of process, and get it accepted by Apple ?

Answer 1

eBay have an app too, they'll be using paypal, so Apple can't reject an app for using paypal.

Also, there have been a few apps (in the UK) that sell food, and other commodities, namely the Ocado app (Thanks for the spelling correction, Graham), and another which I forget the name of, that allows you to purchase flowers, chocolate, fast food, etc.
