Dear sellers,
2025 was the year of eBay’s 30th anniversary and the year in which the eBay marketplace took the step into live commerce with the new Shopping & Selling format “eBay Live.” In 2026, we’ll continue this exciting development and launch more and more categories for live selling.
In the new episode of our eBay podcast “Everything top-notch, gladly again!” our host Lisa Haak looks back together with Dr. Saskia Meier-Andrae, Managing Director at eBay Germany, on the events of last year and ahead to the trends that will shape commerce in 2026.
The focus is on business-relevant topics such as recommerce, trust in e-commerce, growing regulatory requirements, and increasing competitive pressure. There is also a discussion about AI in online retail – from more efficient processes for eBay sellers when uploading and optimizing their listings to the question of how AI agents could in future manage the entire online shopping process for users and thereby fundamentally change the customer journey.
