eBay launches luxury consignment service

eBay introduces a new consignment service, giving users direct access to expert sellers who will list and sell their luxury items on their behalf. Launching initially for designer handbags, the service will expand next year to include additional luxury categories, including jewelry and watches. To power the service at launch, eBay has partnered with Linda Lightman, founder of Linda’s Stuff, and a leading seller of luxury goods. Linda has operated a consignment store on eBay for more than 20 years, and she brings unrivaled expertise when it comes to selling designer goods. Consumers can now use eBay consignment to sell new and pre-owned handbags from top brands like Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Saint Laurent. The process is seamless, with the consignment partner handling each and every component – from photography to pricing – ensuring the listing is competitive and professional. Eligible items listed for $500 or more will display the eBay Authenticity Guarantee checkmark, and once purchased, will go through eBay’s authentication process.
