People are now selling Google Inbox invites on eBay

Google's announcement of its new Inbox mobile app created a buzz on the Internet after yesterday's big reveal. Google launched the beta for its invite-only iOS and Android app after secretly working on the project for years.

The team behind Gmail created the exclusive email app, which manages emails by automatically bundling things together to save time sorting through messages.

The updated email service takes aspects from Gmail, Google Now and Mailbox. The innovative Inbox will prioritize your emails based on the date and time, such as pulling up your flight information and itinerary when you're on the way to the airport.

Inbox looks like a social media site, and has a Tinder-like feature of swiping away messages. Users can set their own reminders to help increase productivity.

People are actually willing to pay to get the exclusive invite to Inbox. Thanks to an eBay listing, Google fans can get their hands on the service. The current bid, from user bpatel90 is at $152.00.

There is no denying that emails stack up. Emails come from people we know, the places we shop, and the restaurants we eat at. Bundling recipes and reservations separately from work and social messages seems to be the perfect solution to clearing virtual clutter. So it only make sense that people will find a way to make the exclusive email app not so exclusive.

According to Twitter, some people aren't thrilled that the app is invite-only. But while Google continues to test the new app before its public launch, check out what Twitter users are saying about the service.
