As the world’s largest online marketplace—one comprised of 93 million active users—eBay is uniquely equipped to serve as a cultural barometer. Its global community helps set and forecast shopping trends daily through its searches, purchases and live sales.
The Inside Source (http://www.theinsidesource.com), eBay's digital style magazine, is a media destination that harnesses these unique insights to tell stories about what people are shopping for right now—their collections, their passions, and their must-haves.
Using real-time, proprietary data provided by eBay, plus inspiration, tips and personal accounts from tastemakers, the editorial team at The Inside Source produces content daily on topics in the areas of fashion, home and garden and pop culture. Staffed by professional writers and editors who have contributed to Lucky magazine, Allure, InStyle, Vogue, Travel + Leisure, the New York Times, Women’s Wear Daily and more, our site helps curate the eBay shopping experience by presenting it through the lens of what's hot and what's next.
Visit The Inside Source daily to catch up on the latest trends; learn what your favorite designers, stylists and decorators are hunting for right now; and to get inspired for your next shopping trip on eBay. We welcome your feedback and ideas, via comments on our articles or by emailing us at theinsidesource.ebay@gmail.com.
