Here's ebay's chief product office, Eddie Garcia, on Livestreaming at ebay. For those who have been wondering if and when ebay might open Livestreaming to a lot more sellers, it seems the answer is: Some sellers, some categories, some day.
"“[Livestreaming] is not for every category. I think it makes a lot of sense where there’s just deeper understanding of the product. Or there’s a connection or a story that that seller wants to tell. And our sellers are just amazing. They are entrepreneurs, they are experts in all of these passions that we’ve been talking about. And so, to hear directly from them on a livestream, it’s just a richer experience, and everybody wins from that. In particular, we’re excited about collectibles, trading cards, fashion. And we’re going to keep trying it wherever we can form that better connection between a buyer and a seller.”
