eBay Open 2025: Virtual & In Person Event Slated For August
Sellers are eagerly awaiting details of eBay's big 30th anniversary event, slated to take place sometime in August 2025!
The company first revealed that eBay Open 2025 would be an in person event at the end of last year's virtual conference, with US GM Dawn Block and SVP Global GM Jordan Sweetnam breaking the exciting news.
Jordan: We have a big birthday coming up next year. eBay is turning 30 years old. And to commemorate the moment and to recognize the sellers that make everything possible every year, we're excited to announce that we're planning a large, in-person eBay Open event to celebrate our 30th anniversary in 2025.
Dawn: That is amazing news. We're so excited to get everyone together in-person next year. For folks who remember eBay Live or our eBay Open events in the past, we hope to recapture that magical feeling again next year.
We'll of course continue to offer a virtual version of the event so everyone can still attend and follow along just like now. We'll be sharing more details about our plans in the new year, but for now, we hope that you're as excited as we are to get together in-person next year.
eBay then opened up a 30th Anniversary Group in the community forum for sellers to follow for updates and reminisce about eBay live events past - though there have been no further official posts in the group and sellers have been starting to get concerned that they won't have time to work out timing and financing for travel plans.

Some sellers suspected the details would be announced as part of the Spring Seller Update on March 7th and they were partially correct - Director Seller Community and Engagement Rebecca Michals teased that the event will be taking place in August but did not reveal an exact date, location or any other information.
That doesn't leave much time for sellers to make plans - especially considering August may fall right in peak back to school time in many parts of the country.
Stay tuned for updates as we learn more and let us know in the comments below where you hope eBay Open 2025 will be!
