eBay's new look



TO




The e-commerce power is changing its logo.
A global online marketplace that offers a cleaner, more contemporary and consistent experience, with innovation that makes buying and selling easier and more enjoyable.
We’re incredibly proud of how eBay started and quickly grew into the world’s largest online marketplace. Auction-style listings, used goods, vintage items and quirky, one-of-a-kind finds are still a big part of what makes buying and selling on eBay special.
Shopping anytime, anywhere? This is the new eBay.
The new look will begin to appear across eBay sites and channels this fall.
