Ebay will travel the country this summer with the Ebay Live on Tour event series, bringing livestream shopping sessions and collector-focused experiences to more than 10 cities across the U.S.
Beginning on June 14, the tour will showcase top Ebay sellers, curated inventory, special guests and real-time broadcasts from hobby shops, conventions and collector trade nights. The goal is to give collectors more chances to connect with and shop their passion on Ebay, whether they attend the livestreams virtually or visit the events IRL. It’s all part of Ebay’s ongoing push to become the go-to for “enthusiasts” of all stripes, whether they be trading card aficionados, vintage car devotees or fashionistas.
Launched in 2022, Ebay Live is the platform’s livestream shopping experience that connects buyers with knowledgeable sellers in real time. During livestreams, shoppers can ask questions, see items up close and shop instantly. Ebay Live streams cover a range of categories including collectibles, luxury goods, sneakers and apparel, with purchasing available in both live auction and Buy It Now formats.
“Ebay Live is about more than just buying — it’s about bringing people together over shared passions,” said Caroline Pougnier, U.S. General Manager for Ebay Live in a statement. “This tour is our way of showing up for the community — meeting collectors where they are and celebrating ‘The Hobby’ together.”
