eBay Partners with Google Assistant to Bring Voice Control to eBay’s Android App
Oct 2020
A new partnership launches voice control capabilities on our marketplace to meet the needs of our customers by creating a more seamless, modern experience.

This is our first mainstream experience in the voice sphere: integrating the eBay app with Google's Assistant. eBay is also one of the first ecommerce companies to integrate with Google for this voice capability. With the help of Google’s natural language processing technology, variants of each of the above, in many languages, will be understood and enacted in the experience overall.

eBay Business Model & Pricing
On eBay and StubHub, the business model and pricing are designed so that business is successful primarily when sellers are successful. eBay makes money primarily through fees collected on successfully closed sales. On the Classifieds platform, eBay monetizes business primarily through advertising.
In 2019, managed payments adoption accelerated in the U.S. and the service launched in Germany. Since the company began intermediating payments in 2018, eBay has processed over $2.0 billion in payments for nearly 25,000
sellers through December 31, 2019.
eBay Buyers and Sellers
In order to remain competitive and create a vibrant seller experience, eBay continuously invests in tools and programs to grow the seller ecosystem because the company only wins when sellers succeed.
In 2019, eBay added analytics and merchandising tools to the Seller Hub that are designed so that sellers know what to sell, when to sell it and at what price. The 2019 additions of Multi-User Account Access, along with the Terapeak
integration, enable sellers to better manage their business and add additional analytics insights into the platform.
eBay also established new seller protections, including two new financial protections for top-rated sellers located in the U.S. who offer 30-day returns. First, eBay will issue a seller invoice credit to cover return label cost if a buyer makes a false “item not as described” claim. Second, eBay now allows these sellers to issue partial refunds for all items that are returned damaged. eBay also has processes that allow sellers to report buyers who violate policies.
