      New cancellation feature on eBay starting June 19, 2026

      Dear sellers,   we are updating the eBay websites in connection with the EU right of withdrawal for purchases from commercial sellers.   On June 19, 2026, we will introduce the new withdrawal feature (also known as the withdrawal button). Users will then be able to select the option “Return item” in the purchase overview or on the “Purchase details” page and specify “Contract withdrawal” as the return reason if they want to exercise their right of withdrawal on eBay. When consumers select this reason, they will receive a copy of the “Declaration of withdrawal from the contract” by email.    Users can also access the withdrawal feature via a link in the footer of the eBay websites. This leads to a Help page on the EU right of withdrawal , which is accessible from June 19, 2026 . It contains all information about the new feature and also allows guest buyers to withdraw. Please also refer guest buyers to this help page.   What does this mean for you?   If you sell commercially to consumers, please check and update your return policies:   Your return policies (cancellation policy) should explain how the new withdrawal feature can be used. From June 19, 2026, you can include the link ( Help page on the EU right of withdrawal ) in your cancellation policy to explain it, or describe how to access the withdrawal feature.     Please note that consumers can continue to contact you directly to exercise their right of withdrawal.   We thank you for your support in the ongoing improvement of the buying experience on the eBay marketplace.   Kind regards Your eBay team Was the article useful to you?

      eBay Live Talk: Michael Frontzek meets Pascal Gherram from Airlift-Vintage

      Dear sellers,   how do you get started with eBay Live? And what does it take to sell successfully in a livestream, inspire customers, and build an active community?   In two new videos, Michael Frontzek talks with Pascal Gherram from Airlift-Vintage about his experiences with eBay Live. Pascal sells vintage fashion, streetwear, and designer pieces live from his storage room and shows how easy it can be to get started: A smartphone, a tripod, good internet, and an authentic presentation can already be enough to showcase products live and interact directly with potential buyers.   Airlift Vintage uses eBay Live to make special streetwear and vintage pieces visible, answer questions directly in the stream, and build trust. Pascal relies on authentic communication in the stream, entertainment, and closeness to the community. Customers see the items live, can ask for details, and get a realistic picture of the condition of the products. This can make purchase decisions easier and reduce returns.   For Pascal, community engagement is especially important. Regular streams, direct interaction, special campaigns like a “Free Piece,” and an efficient after-sales process help inspire buyers. More than 150 positive live reviews show that Airlift-Vintage made the right decision to focus on Live Selling & Shopping.   Pascal has a clear goal: Airlift Vintage should become the number 1 for streetwear on eBay Live. His experiences show that live selling can be not only an additional sales channel, but also a way to present products authentically, build a brand, and develop a strong community around your own business.   Watch the two videos and find out which practical tips, lessons learned, and ideas Airlift-Vintage offers for getting started with eBay Live.   To the videos 1. Tips & experiences from Airlift-Vintage from the eBay Live world | eBay for Business DE 2. Pascal from Airlift-Vintage, about his eBay Live experiences | eBay for Business DE   Good luck with getting started or expanding your eBay Live business!   Kind regards Your eBay Team   Was the article useful for you?

      New podcast episode: Successful in re-commerce – Harley-Davidson Kiel shows how it's done

      Dear sellers,    How does an eBay shop for used Harley-Davidson parts become an internationally successful recommerce business?    In the new podcast episode, our host Isabell talks with Lasse Schramm, Managing Director of Harley-Davidson Kiel. He рассказывает how a student work project became a professional eBay shop, why realistic product photos build trust, and what role social media, YouTube, and the company’s own podcast play in sales.   Especially exciting: for Harley-Davidson Kiel, eBay is long since more than just an additional sales channel. Used parts are systematically checked, photographed, priced, and offered internationally. The episode also covers AI for listing items, international demand for used parts, and the question of why authenticity sometimes sells better than perfection.   “Of course, listing new items always has priority. eBay rewards us very well for that. When we’re active there and diligently list new items every day, we definitely notice it immediately in our sales.”   Listen to the success story of Harley-Davidson Kiel and take away lots of useful tips for your business!

      New platform for our community members, the same great community!

      Dear community members,   we’re excited to announce the launch of our new community platform. It was developed to offer you an even better, seamless, and interactive community experience, as well as to make networking and exchanging ideas with one another even easier.   With the platform move, we’re bringing everything together in one central place: events, discussions, resources, and the search for specific topics that interest you.   With a modern new design, simplified navigation, and expanded features for knowledge sharing and collaboration, the new community platform is intended to offer you even more benefits with every interaction.   What does this mean for you?   Your posts and most of your activities since 2021 will be automatically transferred to the new platform. To make using the community clearer and more efficient, some existing activities will no longer be available on the new platform. The secure SSO login via the familiar URL and signing in to your eBay account will remain in place. As soon as the new community platform is live, we will publish detailed questions and answers to help you navigate.   Important note: During the platform move from June 11 to 15, 2026, the community website will only be available in read-only mode. If you have any questions about your eBay account during this period, please contact eBay Customer Service .   Your commitment and contributions in the community are very valuable to us and have made the eBay community what it is today. Your activities in the community will in future be even easier and more effective.    We’re really looking forward to welcoming you to the new platform!   Kind regards Your Community Team   Was this article helpful?
