eBay Listings in Lights delivers immersive Christmas shopping experience on busy London high street — Retail Technology Innovation Hub
Taking place at Outernet at Tottenham Court Road on 8th and 9th November, the experience will bring pre-loved inventory from sellers across the UK together, in a live shoppable light installation. Guests at the Outernet will be able to scan QR codes to shop products on eBay.
To be in with the chance to have their products included, sellers need to include the hashtag #ListingsInLights in the title of their listing.
Broadcaster Nick Grimshaw and his niece Liv will be two of the sellers listing items they’re looking to sell, with proceeds supporting akt (the Albert Kennedy Trust), the national LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity.
“I love looking for interior items on eBay, vintage and pre-loved items especially, something with a previous life.” says Grimshaw. “This Christmas, to raise money for charity I’m giving people a chance to get their hands on some of my favourite pieces, mainly homeware items but also clothing I’ve loved too. eBay’s Listings in Lights is giving people across the UK a new way to get ready for Christmas.”
