What: Online marketplace eBay is set to open a pop-up in London for two days, offering a range of pre-loved gifts in time for Christmas.

Why it is important: According to the marketplace, the concept was prompted by research which found that 55% of Britons would like to make a bit of extra cash before Christmas, while 66% said they had items in their homes they wished to sell.

Called ‘Listings in Lights’, the store will offer customers “pre-loved inventory from sellers across the UK together” in a “live shoppable light installation”. This move is the latest in a series to simplify the experience for sellers and give buyers access to a greater selection of inventory.
