Your eBay Live Agency in the UK.
Livance Studio runs eBay Live for brands and sellers across the UK. From getting accepted into the eBay Live programme to producing live auction and Buy It Now sessions from our studio, we put your products in front of an audience that already knows how to bid.
From the application form to your first live auction.
eBay Live is still invitation-based in the UK. Getting accepted is half the work. Running professional sessions once you are in is the other half. We do both.
01
Programme application
We support the eBay Live Seller Interest Form application end to end. Positioning the right account, the right category, the right history, and the right pitch to get you accepted into the programme.
02
Listing and inventory prep
eBay Live works best with the right inventory mix: auctioned hero pieces alongside well-presented Buy It Now items. We help curate, photograph, and list everything ready for the broadcast.
03
Live session production
Sessions hosted from our studio by trained presenters who understand both formats. Auction-paced bidding cycles when that is the call, and Buy It Now demonstrations when it is not.
04
Audience and promotion
eBay Live rewards sellers who bring an audience. We promote your sessions through your eBay store followers, email lists, social channels, and creator partnerships so the room is full when you go live.
05
Reporting and reviews
Post-session reporting on viewers, bids, sell-through, and sales. Monthly strategy reviews so each broadcast learns from the last.
06
Authentication and trust
For luxury and collectibles, provenance is everything. We work with you on how to present authentication, condition, and history live, in the way that wins bids and reduces returns.
From application to first auction, in five steps.
eBay Live has its own sequence. Here is the one we run for sellers who want to get accepted and start selling fast.

A first-mover window on the UK's most distinctive live platform.
eBay Live is newer to the UK than TikTok Shop or Amazon Live, and it is the only one of the three that supports live auctions. The brands and sellers who get in now are setting up advantages their competitors cannot easily copy later.
2025
The UK live shopping window
eBay Live started in the UK in February 2025 and officially launched in June 2025. It is still in invitation-only beta with selected sellers, which means a real first-mover opportunity is still open.
Auctions
Plus Buy It Now
eBay Live is the only major live shopping platform that supports both live auctions and fixed-price Buy It Now in the same broadcast. That is a structurally different format from anywhere else.
3 categories
Fashion, collectibles, luxury
The UK beta launched across Fashion (including pre-loved and vintage), Collectibles (trading cards, comics, toys), and Luxury (watches, handbags, jewellery). Storytelling categories where bidding earns its place.
Where eBay Live performs best.
eBay's strengths are not the same as TikTok Shop's or Amazon's. We focus the work where the platform actually pays back.
Sector
Pre-Loved & Vintage Fashion
eBay's heartland. Designer resale, archive pieces, and vintage collections that benefit from live storytelling and bidding excitement.
Sector
Collectibles & Trading Cards
Sports cards, comics, collectible toys, and memorabilia. The launch category for eBay Live UK, and where live auctions earn the format.
Sector
Luxury & Watches
Watches, handbags, and jewellery, where provenance, condition, and authentication need to be presented live, not just photographed.
The UK studio behind your eBay Live.
Sessions are produced from our studio in Flintshire, North Wales. Five booths, each set up to present products on camera the way bidders and serious buyers expect: clean lighting, sharp detail, and the kind of production value that earns trust on the screen.
- Cadothy Amaze 5 Pro all-in-one streaming device per booth
- Dual softbox lighting and a branded backdrop
- External camera, audio, and lighting available
- Business broadband with Starlink backup
What sellers ask before they apply.
Factual answers, before your discovery call.
What is eBay Live?
eBay Live is eBay’s interactive live streaming shopping platform. It lets sellers, brands, and influencers broadcast curated live events to eBay buyers, with items available as either auctions or Buy It Now listings. The platform launched in the US in 2024 and expanded to the UK in 2025.
Is eBay Live available in the UK?
Yes. eBay Live started in the UK in February 2025 and was officially launched in June 2025. It is currently in beta with selected sellers across Collectibles, Luxury, and Fashion categories. Sellers can apply through eBay’s Seller Interest Form.
What does an eBay Live agency do?
An eBay Live agency supports brands and sellers across the full programme: applying and being accepted into the platform, preparing inventory and listings, planning auction and Buy It Now campaigns, hosting live sessions from a studio, and reporting on results.
What categories work best on eBay Live?
eBay Live’s UK beta launched with Collectibles and Luxury, including sports trading cards, collectible toys, comics, watches, handbags, and jewellery. Fashion, particularly pre-loved and vintage, is a major focus. Storytelling and authentication-led categories perform best.
How is eBay Live different from Amazon Live or TikTok Shop?
eBay Live is the only major live shopping platform that supports live auctions alongside fixed-price Buy It Now listings. TikTok Shop and Amazon Live are Buy It Now only. This makes eBay Live uniquely suited to categories where bidding and provenance matter, such as pre-loved fashion, collectibles, and luxury items.
How do you become an eBay Live seller in the UK?
eBay Live is currently invitation-based in the UK. Sellers register their interest through eBay’s Seller Interest Form, and eBay onboards accepted sellers in waves. Having a strong existing eBay account in a relevant category improves your chances. Livance supports the application end to end.
Do I need a studio to host eBay Live?
No, you can technically host eBay Live from a smartphone. However, eBay’s marquee UK campaigns have been produced at high quality, and that quality bar matters for engagement and trust, especially in luxury and collectibles. Livance runs sessions from a dedicated studio in Flintshire.
How long does an eBay Live session usually run?
Session length varies by format. Auction-led streams tend to run 60 to 90 minutes to allow bidding cycles to play out. Buy It Now showcases can run shorter or longer depending on inventory. We recommend a duration based on your category, products, and goals for the broadcast.
