eBay had used the pop up shop concept for the holidays in 2021 to try to drive interest in focus verticals like sneakers, trading cards, and while the events did garner a little initial social media buzz from eBay's partner influencers who participated, they failed to reach a wider audience.

Many sellers last year criticized eBay's decision to pursue these kinds of limited gimmicky marketing events instead of investing in more traditional TV and social media marketing to drive holiday sales across the wide variety of categories on the platform.
It appears eBay may be making the same mistake again this year - at least in the US market where sellers are still waiting for any kind of sitewide holiday marketing effort and wondering why eBay doesn't bring some of their marketing strategy from Europe to the US.
