@meme6253 The topic is a bit confusing, since it seems to be AI and also ebay Stores...I'm more interested in the Stores part, but I wouldn't be surprised if they talk more about Store Ads than stores themselves. Just have to wait and see. I've learned to attend these things with very, very low expectations.

I think your right on the store ads part,More revenue for them if more sellers use store ads.
