eBay has released the eBay Watchlist, a new trend report revealing how fashion is being reshaped by the resale market.

Driven by shopper data, the report captures how people are choosing pre-loved and embracing more conscious consumption, and transforming the industry in the process.

In 2024, “vintage” was searched more than 1,200 times per minute, and nearly 40% of all clothing, shoes, and accessories sold were listed in pre-owned condition.
