eBay Open 2025: Virtual & In Person 30th Anniversary Event Live From Las Vegas, August 12-14
UPDATE 5-7-25
eBay Open 2025 is officially coming to the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas August 12-14 with in person & live streaming event to celebrate eBay's 30th anniversary!
Unfortunately, eBay has not given an exact date when registration will be available, simply telling attendees of today's Seller Check In to look for an email later this month with registration information - once again leaving even less time for sellers to make their plans for the big event.
eBay is also warning sellers not to make non-refundable hotel and airline purchases until you have a confirmed reservation for eBay Open because the tickets will be very limited.
That suggests while eBay Open 2025 will be an in person experience, it may not exactly be a return to the previous size, scope and access that sellers are expecting.
UPDATE 5-6-25
Editor's note: eBay pulled the link down as soon as this was published - but the screenshot above was taken directly from a video on eBay's official Vimeo page and we expect it will be live again tomorrow.
Stay tuned for more details about exact location after tomorrow's Summer Seller Check In.

Sellers are eagerly awaiting details of eBay's big 30th anniversary event, slated to take place sometime in August 2025!
The company first revealed that eBay Open 2025 would be an in person event at the end of last year's virtual conference, with US GM Dawn Block and SVP Global GM Jordan Sweetnam breaking the exciting news.
Jordan: We have a big birthday coming up next year. eBay is turning 30 years old. And to commemorate the moment and to recognize the sellers that make everything possible every year, we're excited to announce that we're planning a large, in-person eBay Open event to celebrate our 30th anniversary in 2025.
Dawn: That is amazing news. We're so excited to get everyone together in-person next year. For folks who remember eBay Live or our eBay Open events in the past, we hope to recapture that magical feeling again next year.
We'll of course continue to offer a virtual version of the event so everyone can still attend and follow along just like now. We'll be sharing more details about our plans in the new year, but for now, we hope that you're as excited as we are to get together in-person next year.
eBay then opened up a 30th Anniversary Group in the community forum for sellers to follow for updates and reminisce about eBay live events past - though there have been no further official posts in the group and sellers have been starting to get concerned that they won't have time to work out timing and financing for travel plans.

Some sellers suspected the details would be announced as part of the Spring Seller Update on March 7th and they were partially correct - Director Seller Community and Engagement Rebecca Michals teased that the event will be taking place in August but did not reveal an exact date, location or any other information.
That doesn't leave much time for sellers to make plans - especially considering August may fall right in peak back to school time in many parts of the country.
Stay tuned for updates as we learn more and let us know in the comments below where you hope eBay Open 2025 will be!
