eBay (Nasdaq:EBAY) kicks off the holiday shopping season today with “eBay @ 57th Street,” its first-ever pop-up online shopping experience. At eBay’s 5,500-square-foot 57th Street and Fifth Avenue pop-up location, holiday shoppers will have the chance to browse a sampling of 400 hot holiday products available from almost 200 million product listings on eBay. Shoppers can then purchase their favorite holiday gifts online from eBay sellers via touch-screen kiosks at the pop-up location or through eBay’s popular iPhone application.
“eBay offers great deals and incredible selection on every holiday gift imaginable,” said Lorrie Norrington, president of eBay Marketplaces. “Our pop-up experience gives shoppers a unique way to see some of the best of what eBay sellers offer this holiday.”
eBay also makes it easy to gift for the greater good this holiday season through the eBay Giving Works holiday donation drive, benefiting leading nonprofits selected by eBay. All online purchases made at the pop-up location will be matched dollar-for-dollar by eBay, up to $200,000.
eBay’s pop-up holiday experience is open to the public from November 20 — 29, 2009. For more information, visit www.ebayholiday.com.
