This Christmas Ebay will come out of the digital age and go analog with a pop-up bricks & mortar store on West 57th St in NYC. Opening Nov 20th the 500m2 store will stock some of the most desirable and cutting edge fashion currently available including an exclusive selection of Norma Kamali, handbags from Michael Kors & Dooney & Burke, Anthropologie dresses, cosmetics from M.A.C & Vera Wang fragrances to name but a few. Electronics, toys, home and garden items will also be displayed, but shoppers will have access to the entire eBay marketplace via Internet kiosks, handheld tablets and the eBay mobile phone application.
To launch the new store, eBay will be hosting a cocktail party on Nov. 19. To further boost the shopping frenzy, limited numbers of “daily deal” items will be given to the first 100 shoppers.
eBay will also be donating one dollar for every dollar spent in the store (up to $200,000) to charities such as Oxfam, Save the Children, Starlight & Unicef.
