Handbags at the ready: eBay UK teams with Luxe Collective for launch of Luxury Consignment service — Retail Technology Innovation Hub

Mari Corella, General Manager of Luxury and Sneakers at eBay, says: “As consumer interest in shopping for pre-loved luxury continues to grow in popularity, eBay is evolving to ensure it is at the forefront to provide shoppers with the best service.”

“Consignment follows our already popular Authenticity Guarantee service that vets and verifies luxury goods, as we continue to enable customers to buy and sell on the platform with ease and peace of mind.”

Ben Gallagher, Co-Founder at Luxe Collective, says: “Luxe Collective has long been dedicated to delivering pre-loved luxury at an accessible price point on eBay. Partnering with eBay UK on its new Consignment service is a great moment for us as it will encourage more sellers to join eBay’s global community, bringing even more luxury pieces to the platform ready for shoppers to find their dream pieces.”

eBay Consignment comes on the heels of Authenticity Guarantee’s expansion to pearl jewellery and the marketplace’s acquisition of Certilogo, an AI powered authentication provider.
