eBay, the online marketplace offering the widest and most unique inventory of sneakers, launched zero selling fees for the first time for North America customers on any sneakers sold at $1001 or more. Recently, the marketplace announced a month of drops, celebrating the biggest designer collaborations, top brands, and rare grails of the year.
The unveil of the December Drop series follows eBay’s sold out pre-release of the Air Jordan 11 “Bred” made possible by seller Chris Holbrook, also known as Sneaker Jesus. The drop sold out in less than four minutes.
The drops signify the continued dominance of eBay in the sneaker resale game, with nearly six million total sneakers sold on eBay in 2019. With almost 1.5 million live sneaker listings right now, the move is only expected to grow eBay’s amazing selection of new, rare and emerging styles across every price and time zone.
“As the originator of the sneaker resale game, eBay continues to be a top source for emerging and collectible styles, and with high demand, we want our sellers and buyers to get in on the action,” said Jeff Chan, head of men’s footwear and apparel at eBay. “For our community of diehard sneakerheads, eliminating selling fees allows them to turn their kicks into more cash to fund future purchases, and results in a more robust sneaker inventory for shoppers everywhere.”
