“Dear eBay”: new humorous video series tackles the UK’s holding-on habit
Fronted by cultural commentators, Jack Remmington and Ash Holme, the social-first campaign reframes selling as smart, emotional — and worth sharing.
As the UK enters its peak autumn clear-out season, eBay UK is spotlighting the emotional side of selling with “Dear eBay” — a witty short-form video series about everyday letting-go dilemmas.
The social-first activation aims to reframe selling as emotionally rewarding and culturally relevant.
A cultural take on letting go
Styled as an agony-aunt inspired mini-series, “Dear eBay” is fronted by presenters and hosts of the The Jack & Ash Show podcast, Jack Remmington and Ash Holme.
With wit and candour, the duo offer light-hearted advice to everyday “stuff-life dramas”. Each 2-minute episode tackles a relatable ‘love it, list it, let-it-go’ dilemma – from impulse fashion buys to unused tech and large household items – showing that with eBay, letting go can feel like a win.
Part of the “Spectrum of Value” Platform
Following the September rollout of its Spectrum of Value platform across AV, out-of-home, digital, and radio channels, “Dear eBay” is designed to position the marketplace at the heart of timely, everyday moments — particularly those when people reassess what they own.
The campaign not only showcases functional features such as AI-powered listing descriptions, barcode scanning, and instant pricing suggestions, but also underscores the emotional side of selling.
Through humourous, relatable storytelling, it reframes clearing out as a rewarding act — both personally and practically.
The content will roll out across eBay UK’s Instagram, TikTok and YouTube channels, supported by talent-led amplification, influencer collaborations, CRM, paid social, and radio.
