The biggest seller event of the year is almost here! We’d like to share some information and tips to help you prepare and make the most of your experience at eBay Open. 

 

Build your profile
We recommend creating your profile within the virtual platform prior to the event. Customize it by adding a headline, a photo, and information about your business. To get started—click on the link in your confirmation email and then head to the profile icon in the top right corner of the platform.

Plan your schedule
We’ve got a packed agenda featuring three half-days of fundamental and advanced training sessions, category breakouts, executive keynotes, seller-led sessions, networking, and more. You can build your custom agenda by browsing the event schedule and clicking the “Add to my agenda” button, for any session that you’d like to attend.

 

Earn swag

This year at eBay Open, we’re gamifying swag. Attend sessions, visit booths, and engage on our virtual platform to earn points and rank higher up on the leaderboard. The more you're involved, the more credits you can earn to put towards swag. 

 

Get social
Post about eBay Open on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok using #ebayopen2022 and get featured on the event’s social wall. Don’t forget to stop by the photo booth to take your eBay Open selfie!

COVID-19 protocol for eBay Open Studio

Monitor personal health
Please don’t attend the event if any of the following apply to you:

  1. You, or someone you have been in close physical proximity with is experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19. For example: fever, dry cough, sore throat, tiredness.
  2. You currently have COVID-19 or feel you may be at risk of exposure. If you're feeling unwell, your focus should be on rest and recovery. Please prioritize your health and wellbeing. 

Maintain hygiene
We recommend the following steps for your safety, and the safety of other attendees:

  1. Stay up to date with vaccinations to reduce risk of serious infection.
  2. Frequently wash or sanitize hands.
  3. Avoid greeting others with physical contact (i.e., handshakes).
  4. Maintaining physical distance is just one component of how to protect yourself and others; it is important to consider the risk in a particular setting, including local COVID-19 Community Levels and the important role of ventilation, when assessing the need to maintain physical distance.

Finally, due to the ever-changing climate of COVID-19, we recommend you stay up to date and follow guidance by all local health authorities in the location(s) where you’re traveling—including mask mandates, etc.
