eBay to Open First Holiday Pop-up Shop in Midtown
WWD

eBay will come to life November 20-29 (save Thanksgiving), in the form of a pop-up housing some mint clothing, accessories, cosmetics and more, accessible for purchase, along with the entire eBay selection, via Internet kiosks, handheld tablets and eBay's mobile phone application. 

The 5,500-square-foot shop will open at 3 West 57th just in time for the holidays, over Thanksgiving weekend and taking a day off for Thanksgiving day.  In addition to fashion and beauty, electronics, home and toys will be showcased in the shop, and the first 100 shoppers on Black Friday will win a "daily deal" from the selection.   

The sweetest part of the gig? All the proceeds from the shop will be matched by eBay and donated to a variety of charities including Global Giving, Grammy in the Schools, Oxfam America, Right to Play, Save the Children, Share Our Strength, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Starlight, Toys for Tots, U.S. Fund for UNICEF and YouthAIDS EBay.
