eBay is bringing live commerce to Canada with the launch of eBay Live, applying more than 25 years of marketplace trust to a fast-growing format within the collectibles community.
Built on verified sellers and established buyer protections, eBay Live brings credibility to live shopping, with the Canadian launch featuring live auctions from Canadian sellers at major collector conventions nationwide, including high-demand Pokémon and hockey cards.
The rollout mirrors eBay Live’s momentum in markets such as the U.S., U.K., France, Australia, Italy and Germany, where the platform has driven strong engagement, including live events featuring Elton John, Giannis Antetokounmpo, The Backstreet Boys, Sophie Cunningham, and Pete Davidson.
Featured livestreams include:
o In 2025, searches for Pokémon on eBay.ca rose 70% compared to the year prior.
o In 2025, searches for Macklin Celebrini increased by more than 800% compared to the year prior.
These rare and high value cards will be auctioned starting at just C$1.00, with 30-second extended bidding enabling everyone to get in on the action.
To make the events even more memorable, eBay Live is bringing fans closer to their fandom — offering the opportunity to chat and shop live with:
- Steve Aoki, internationally renowned DJ, producer, and entrepreneur
- Sean Astin, best known for his roles in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Stranger Things, and The Goonies
- James and Oliver Phelps (Phelps Twins), also known as the Weasley twins from the Harry Potter films
- Doug Gilmour, Canadian hockey legend and NHL Hall of Famer
