November 2002 - Serve up the eggnog, appetizers and holiday-baked goods! eBay parties are the newest variation on home parties.
Fueled by a desire to learn how to "Do It eBay," people are gathering at homes across the nation, to look for the perfect gifts for family and friends. From Elvis collectibles to rare stamps, from vintage purses to military memorabilia, eBay community members are hosting "Do it eBay" parties in their homes, because they love to entertain and they love eBay.
Those who have been reluctant to try buying on their own, enjoy the tutorial, social gatherings that include benefiting from other people's trading knowledge. With an experienced eBay user assisting them, party guests can shop from the comfort of their host's home and cross several names off their holiday list.
If special delivery to the recipient and gift-wrapping are important, eBay offers a special Gift Services program. eBay shoppers are encouraged to look for the Gift Icon that designates sellers who offer these special services.
