eBay Now, an on-demand delivery service, picks up goods from local stores. Its couriers—they call themselves "shoppers"—deliver your purchases to your door in about an hour. You pay a $5 delivery and local sales tax.

The invite arrives by email. You click a link to install the app. Here's the splash screen.
