There\u2019s the convenience of just tapping a few buttons and having a box delivered to your door, for starters. And there\u2019s also a much larger range of products to choose from.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">However, having more things to choose from isn\u2019t always a good thing. Where do you start? How do you zero in on what you actually want to buy in that moment? Eager to help you buy more things, eBay has a solution, and it involves you revealing your \u201cInterests\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">eBay Is Interested In You<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">eBay Interests is a new feature designed to help match you with the items you\u2019ll actually want to buy. In a nutshell, you tell eBay what sort of things you\u2019re into, and eBay will create a store unique to you, filled with items you\u2019re going to want to buy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The only thing you have to do is answer a short survey about your hobbies, your passions in life, and your style. eBay will then use this information, along with your purchase history, to create a storefront unique to you and your interests.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" dir=\"ltr\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">There\u2019s a new way to shop for everything you love, all in one place.
