As I've said before, we think eBay Express will encourage more shopping among our existing buyers and will attract new buyers to eBay who prefer a more convenience-oriented shopping experience. This makes a better marketplace for all of us.

Plus, Sellers Get Additional Exposure
The best part of eBay Express is that it's still part of the eBay marketplace. This means that qualifying sellers whose eBay listings meet the criteria for eBay Express will automatically get the additional exposure. (Read here for seller and listing requirements for eBay Express.) To learn if you meet the seller criteria, or to opt-out if you do not wish to have your listings shown on eBay Express, sellers should refer to your Selling Preferences within My eBay.

There are some important details to know about seller requirements, listing requirements, and supported categories at launch, so please make sure to read our eBay Express FAQs.

Preview Launch of eBay Express
All site features are up and running today in eBay Express – it is a fully functional site. eBay staff have been testing and purchasing through eBay Express for several weeks. I've used it to buy a variety of things myself, and the site is fantastic. We'll be doing some fine-tuning of the site over the next several weeks. And more importantly, we'll be listening to your suggestions, comments, and concerns.

I want to take a moment to thank the huge team of dedicated people at eBay and PayPal who have worked together on this enormous undertaking. I'm very proud of all the thought and effort that have gone into delivering what we hope will delight and inspire you.

Finally, the eBay Express team will be spending time with you on our new eBay Express discussion board, so shop eBay Express for your next purchase, and come let us know what you think!

Sincerely,

Bill Cobb
President, eBay North America
