eBay launched a new luxury consignment service, which now gives users access to expert sellers who will list and sell items on their behalf.
Consumers can make the most of eBay consignment to sell new and pre-owned handbags from top luxury labels and their consignment partner will take care of everything from photography to pricing. What's more, items listed for $500 and more will show the eBay Authenticity Guarantee checkmark and upon purchase, they'll undergo eBay's authentication process.
To introduce this service, eBay is starting off with designer handbags and it's expected that this service will expand to include other luxury categories like jewelry and watches. With the rising cost of living and inflation on the horizon, many people are opting to sell their luxury and designer items as a practical means to cope with financial pressures and maintain stability.
