What new seller tools are being showcased at eBay Open 2025?

eBay Open 2025 spotlights AI-driven Magical Listing, faster bulk listing flows, the Operator Assistant for smarter discovery, and expanded eBay Live for livestream selling. Together, they reduce listing time, improve data quality, and create new traffic channels. Sellers can see live demos, learn workflows, and apply the tools to scale inventory and conversions more efficiently.

So, How Is eBay Affording All This?

Well, let’s just say eBay made a ton of money this year.

And for those of you who loved math more than relaxing on the beaches of Thailand… this part’s for you.

eBay’s strong performance over the past few quarters has given it both the confidence and the capital to go all-in on seller tools. With four consecutive quarters of growth, a strong cash position, and continued buyer activity across the platform, eBay is in a position to invest.

In Q1 2025 alone, eBay brought in $2.6 billion in revenue and processed $18.8 billion in GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume). They returned $759 million to shareholders via buybacks and dividends, while holding a 23.8% GAAP operating margin and a 29.8% non-GAAP margin. Oh, and they’re working with $787 million in operating cash flow.

That free cash flow has enabled bold investments, including the acquisition of Caramel for vehicle-commerce capabilities, expansion of the Authenticity Guarantee, Klarna BNPL integration, and cross-listing deals with Facebook Marketplace. These strategic plays pave the way for what to expect at eBay Open 2025: a cohesive ecosystem where AI, trust, and commerce converge.

In short, eBay isn’t just doing fine. They’re actively pouring resources into tools, technology, and support that sellers will see front and center at eBay Open 2025, from next-gen AI listing tools to livestream selling features, smarter payments, and more.

Where MyListerHub Fits In

While eBay Open 2025 highlights platform-level innovation, MyListerHub is focused on the daily reality of eBay sellers, the repetitive, time-consuming tasks that steal your time and limit your growth.

Our platform was built by eBay sellers, for eBay sellers. We understand what it means to relist stale inventory manually, manage offers, send follow-up messages, print labels, and process orders, because we’ve lived it. That’s why we designed MyListerHub to automate the unglamorous but mission-critical parts of selling.

Many sellers come to us with niche problems, asking for help with tasks that would typically require thousands of dollars in custom development or months working with outside developers. With a dedicated development team behind us, we’re able to adapt to those needs quickly, delivering custom features that help sellers stay efficient and competitive.

We’re not just observers, we’re contributors. At our sponsored booth, MyListerHub will reveal major platform updates designed to integrate with eBay’s AI tools and enhance seller workflows. We’ll provide live demos, answer your questions in real-time, and yes, we’ll be announcing our free annual subscription giveaways during the event.

Whether you’re visiting us in person or tuning into the livestream, this is your chance to see how MyListerHub can support your business, not someday, but today.
