“eBay’s brand is about helping every person find their version
of perfect. Following our launch of eBay Wine this spring, eBay
Collective is another example of how we’re committed to providing
our consumers with curated experiences that are complemented with
unique inventory and increased scope of choices to shop from,” said
Jill Ramsey, eBay’s Vice President of Soft Goods. “Whether you are
looking for a unique piece of furniture from a specific time period
or one-of-a-kind piece of artwork for your home that reflects your
own style, eBay Collective will help shoppers to find that perfect
piece.”
eBay has also integrated “Shop the Look” Artificial Intelligence
technology that is powered by eBay’s recent acquisition of
Corrigon. With “Shop the Look,” image recognition technology allows
shoppers to hover over an image and the tool searches eBay
Collective listings to surface inventory that matches or is a close
match to that particular portion of the image.
The inventory on eBay Collective spans one-of-a-kind objects
that can traditionally only be found in independent
brick-and-mortar stores, while showcasing the incomparable
selection that eBay offers, in an inspired, dedicated
destination.
eBay will be syndicating select editorial stories from both
Architectural Digest and Archdigest.com about decorating, shopping,
and industry happenings—providing access to curated content, and
inspiring customers to shop eBay Collective based on the latest
trends in the design world.
“eBay’s partnership with Architectural Digest is yet another
example of how eBay is providing a truly inspiring shopping
experience,” said Suzy Deering, eBay’s Chief Marketing Officer of
North America. “By aligning eBay’s unmatched inventory with
Architectural Digest’s imagery and content, we’re creating a
one-stop destination where inspiration leads to purchase on the
same platform.”
Key categories of eBay Collective are design furniture,
antiques, decorative objects, and fine art. Premium storefronts
provide dealers with additional opportunities to build their brands
and enable easy repeat shopping. eBay’s make-an-offer functionality
provides the flexibility for dealers to offer trade discounts on
their fixed-price selection. In addition, eBay has developed a
white-glove managed shipping service that offers flat rates on
continental US freight to simplify transactions. The platform is
also available on mobile devices.
