The "Luxe Line" bus will visit multiple West
Coast locations, where shoppers can consign luxury items and browse
for new pieces for their collections

SAN
JOSE, Calif., Dec. 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay is rolling out a
mobile consignment concierge, mirroring the convenient and seamless
selling experience offered on the marketplace. The Luxe Line – a
branded bus offering people a physical place to sell their luxury
accessories, as well as shop for new ones – demonstrates the
simplicity of the platform's recently launched eBay consignment
service. Visitors in Los Angeles
and Las Vegas will have direct
access to expert sellers who list and sell their luxury items on
their behalf.
Luxe Line visitors can bring their designer handbags – eligible
brands include Prada, Louis Vuitton,
Gucci, and more – to have them appraised, photographed, and
consigned, all handled by eBay's team of selling experts. Visitors
are also invited to shop a curated selection of handbags, watches,
and jewelry from top eBay luxury sellers. Luxe Line inventory
includes items from Jenna Lyons,
Founder and CEO of LoveSeen, designer and longtime eBay shopper.
Jenna is consigning a curated collection from her closet –
including a Celine Red Leather Luggage Handbag, a Louis Vuitton
Black Epi Leather Keepall, and a Miu
Miu 2-way Boston Bag – all available to browse and buy.
"My closet is bursting with the collection of handbags I've
amassed over the past 20 years, and eBay's consignment service has
made it easy to give these bags new life in someone else's
collection," said designer Jenna
Lyons. "eBay's Luxe Line will feature some special finds
from over the years, including a red Celine Luggage Tote. My very
first Phoebe Philo purchase, the bag
was well loved and now she's ready for her next chapter!"
An estimated 1 trillion dollars of
luxury goods are reportedly sitting in people's closets, yet high
commission fees and complicated listing processes make selling
these items more trouble than it's worth. eBay's entrance into the
consignment space is the latest enhancement in its fashion category
ensuring trust and quality in a seamless resale shopping
experience. From the expansion of eBay Authenticity Guarantee, to
the acquisition of Certilogo, an AI-powered authentication
provider, eBay continues to strengthen its end-to-end experience
for sellers and buyers.
"Our consignment service is designed to help to remove the
typical barriers to selling pre-owned items," said Tirath Kamdar, Global GM of Luxury at eBay. "The
Luxe Line gives sellers and shoppers a way to test out our new
service in real life with the same trusted experts that eBay works
with for the online experience."
eBay's Luxe Line – How it Works
eBay's Luxe Line is open to the public December 13-14 in Los
Angeles and December 16 in
Las Vegas. Those not able to stop
by the Luxe Line IRL can still shop some of Jenna Lyon's collection via auction at
ebay.com/JennaLyons with 100% of proceeds going to Doctors
Without Borders.
- Those who bring eligible handbags from their personal
collection to one of the Luxe Line stops can have their items
appraised for a value for what they will be listed on eBay.
- eBay's consignment partner will have their expert sellers
photograph, price, and list the items on eBay on the seller's
behalf. Sellers then simply wait for the items to sell and receive
earnings once the items have been sold.
- Whether visitors are consigning handbags from their personal
collection or not, the Luxe Line is also stocked with luxury
handbags to shop from Jenna Lyons'
closet as well as other luxury handbags, watches and jewelry from
top eBay sellers Linda's Stuff and MyGemma.
