5 reasons why collectors won't want to miss eBay Live at Fan Expo in Toronto
Fan Expo Canada is always a collector's paradise, but there's one booth you'll want to have on your radar this year.
From Aug. 27 to 30, eBay Live is taking over Booth 1245, located on the 800 Level of the South Building at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Expect exciting live shows, giveaways, special guests, and plenty of opportunities to get your hands on one-of-a-kind collectibles.
If you've never heard of eBay Live, think of it as a live shopping experience with a fun twist for collectors. Fans can tune into livestreams, discover unique items, connect with sellers in real time, and participate in live shopping moments right as they happen.
At Fan Expo, attendees can get a first-hand look at how it all works — and even join in themselves!
Here are five reasons to add eBay Live to your Fan Expo Canada itinerary.
Collectibles and exclusive Fan Expo moments
Collectors will know that half the fun is in the hunt. And eBay Live makes that hunt a little more interactive.
At the eBay booth, you'll be able to explore featured collectibles and unique inventory while getting a closer look at how sellers showcase their finds. Expect graded Pokemon cards, Lego sets (both current and retired), LOTR Funko Pops, signed comics, and more.
Adding to the excitement, eBay Live will also be bringing special guest appearances and exclusive collectible moments to Booth 1245, including Sean Astin (The Goonies) Dominic Monaghan (The Lord of the Rings) Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings) Brendan Wayne (The Mandalorian, Star Wars) and Mr. T (The A-Team, Rocky III).
If you’re searching for a specific fandom, browsing for your next favourite piece, or just curious about what’s out there, there will be plenty to discover.
See live shopping in action
Shopping online doesn't have to be silently scrolling through listings. eBay Live brings the experience to life.
At Booth 1245, see this experience up close and learn how eBay Live brings collecting, conversation, and community together with sellers like Bricks in Demand, Comic Traders, Nefarious Comics, Parthava Coin, Pawnline and Vancouver Coin all streaming onsite.
And if you like what you see, you can take the experience with you beyond Fan Expo by downloading the eBay app on iPhone or Android, creating an account and joining eBay Live livestreams from wherever you are.
Get involved
This isn’t your typical convention booth where you take a quick lap and move on.
eBay Live is designed to get fans involved through interactive experiences, live programming, giveaways, and raffle opportunities taking place throughout the weekend.
There will also be a custom photobooth experience, giving attendees another way to get into the fandom spirit and capture a little Fan Expo memory with the creation of their very own trading card, featuring artwork designed by local Toronto artist Ovyan Anujan
Connect with like-minded people
Collecting is about more than what's sitting on your shelf. It's also about the people and communities that make each fandom so special.
At the eBay Live booth, you can connect with sellers and enjoy fan-focused experiences throughout the weekend. You might even make some new friends!
Plenty of surprises
If you're already planning to spend the weekend immersed in fandom, you might as well make room for a few surprises.
So, between the giveaways, raffle prizes, and interactive experiences, there could be something new to discover every time you swing by.
Stop by Booth 1245 at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto from Aug. 27 to 30 to explore everything eBay Live has to offer. And, to keep the collecting going after the convention, download the eBay app, create an account, and join eBay Live livestreams.
