These webinars will cover a range of crucial topics, with the initial sessions focusing on advertising strategies and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into store enhancements.

The inaugural webinar is scheduled for February 19th at 3 p.m. Eastern Time and will delve into "Advertising Strategies."

The webinar will feature a panel of esteemed guests, including eBay advertising experts and successful seller influencers. This collaborative approach ensures that participants receive both strategic guidance from eBay representatives and practical, real-world advice from seasoned sellers who have achieved notable success on the platform.

The speakers for the February 19th "Advertising Strategies" webinar include Kye Mou, Senior Product Marketing Manager of Ads at eBay, and Rishi Vora, Senior Product Manager, who will provide in-depth information on eBay’s advertising tools and their effective utilization. They will be joined by two accomplished eBay sellers: Alec Larson of Larson Enterprises and Liz O’Kane, the proprietor of Colorado ReWorn. These sellers will share their personal strategies, best practices, and lessons learned in optimizing their businesses through advertising.
