eBay has launched Listings in Lights, an immersive display in the heart of London that promotes private selling and lets people shop pre-loved items across luxury, fashion, home, tech, and toys, from eBay sellers across the UK.
The move follows last month’s removal of selling fees for private sellers in the UK, making it free to sell across all categories except for motors.
“The festive season can feel overwhelming, and this year is no different,” said Kirsty Keoghan, General Manager at eBay UK.
“We removed selling fees to give buyers access to a greater selection of inventory and to simplify the experience for sellers. Listings in Lights is illuminating the streamlined experience, making it easier than ever for sellers to spotlight their items, and for buyers to find inspiration for everyone on their list.”
Taking place at Outernet at Tottenham Court Road on 8 and 9 November, the experience will bring pre-loved inventory from sellers across the UK together, in a live shoppable light installation. Guests at the Outernet will be able to scan QR codes to shop products on eBay.
To be in with the chance to have their products included, sellers need to include the hashtag #ListingsInLights in the title of their listing.
Broadcaster Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv will be two of the sellers listing items they’re looking to sell, with proceeds supporting AKT (the Albert Kennedy Trust), the national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity.
“I love looking for interior items on eBay, vintage and pre-loved items especially, something with a previous life,” said Grimshaw. “This Christmas, to raise money for charity I’m giving people a chance to get their hands on some of my favourite pieces, mainly homeware items but also clothing I’ve loved too. eBay’s Listings in Lights is giving people across the UK a new way to get ready for Christmas.”
