Ebay Live Gets out From Behind the Screen with Traveling Event Series
Ebay will travel the country this summer with the Ebay Live on Tour event series, bringing livestream shopping sessions and collector-focused experiences to more than 10 cities across the U.S.
Beginning on June 14, the tour will showcase top Ebay sellers, curated inventory, special guests and real-time broadcasts from hobby shops, conventions and collector trade nights. The goal is to give collectors more chances to connect with and shop their passion on Ebay, whether they attend the livestreams virtually or visit the events IRL. It’s all part of Ebay’s ongoing push to become the go-to for “enthusiasts” of all stripes, whether they be trading card aficionados, vintage car devotees or fashionistas.
Launched in 2022, Ebay Live is the platform’s livestream shopping experience that connects buyers with knowledgeable sellers in real time. During livestreams, shoppers can ask questions, see items up close and shop instantly. Ebay Live streams cover a range of categories including collectibles, luxury goods, sneakers and apparel, with purchasing available in both live auction and Buy It Now formats.
“Ebay Live is about more than just buying — it’s about bringing people together over shared passions,” said Caroline Pougnier, U.S. General Manager for Ebay Live in a statement. “This tour is our way of showing up for the community — meeting collectors where they are and celebrating ‘The Hobby’ together.”
10 Ebay Live Stops Announced with More to Come
The first stop for the Ebay Live on Tour series will be the local hobby shop AA Mint Cards (which also is an Ebay seller), based in Cooper City, Fla. From 3 to 7 p.m. ET on June 14, sellers in the shop will showcase products, offer collectors hands-on experiences and enjoy a visit from rising basketball star Boogie Fland. Those who can’t attend in person can tune in live on the Ebay Live Tour Channel.
Additional tour stops include (with more set to be announced at a later date):
- June 27–29: Card Party East in Tampa, Fla.;
- July 19: Trade Night at Bullpen HQ in Los Angeles;
- July 24–27: San Diego Comic-Con;
- August 9: Hobby Block Party at Lucky Vault in Los Angeles;
- August 19–23: ANA World’s Fair of Money in Oklahoma City;
- September 27: Trade Night at TNT North Jersey in Hamilton Square, N.J.;

Walmart Expands Drone Delivery to 5 Southeast Cities
Walmart customers in Atlanta, Charlotte, N.C., Houston, Orlando and Tampa, Fla. will be looking to the skies rather than down the street for their deliveries as the retail giant expands drone services to these cities. The new service will launch at 100 stores in these markets, with the flights managed by Wing, a Google subsidiary; consumers can visit wing.com/walmart to be notified when drone delivery officially becomes available in their area.
Wing operates within FAA guidelines, flying drones Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) up to a six-mile aircraft range from the stores.
Walmart already has been using drones for delivery in Northwest Arkansas, near its Bentonville headquarters, and in January 2024 Walmart expanded drone deliveries to 30 municipalities in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. Since first launching drone delivery services in 2021, Walmart has completed more than 150,000 deliveries in 30 minutes or less.
“As we look ahead, drone delivery will remain a key part of our commitment to redefining retail,” said Greg Cathey, SVP of Walmart U.S. Transformation and Innovation in a statement. “We’re pushing the boundaries of convenience to better serve our customers, making shopping faster and easier than ever before.”
5 Years of Drone Delivery Developments
Walmart first began testing drone deliveries with a program in Fayette, N.C. in September 2020; however, development and scaling of drone deliveries has been fairly slow, even among companies with the resources of Walmart and Amazon. The latter also announced plans to expand its drone delivery operation in the U.S. and internationally in October 2023.
Customers are using drone delivery for key ingredients they may have forgotten or for urgent care items such as OTC cold/flu medicine, baby formula and COVID tests. Among the most frequently delivered items are fresh fruit, eggs, ice cream and pet food. Wing Aviation’s CFO Shannon Nash discussed drone delivery opportunities in January 2024.
