eBay announced on Monday that it is acquiring Tise, a social marketplace for second-hand fashion and interior design items. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
eBay states that the Oslo, Norway-based company will open the door to a community of Gen Z and millennial customers. The company also says that Tise’s community features, such as the ability to follow sellers, like and comment on listings, and receive personalized product recommendations, along with its focus on current inventory, will enhance eBay’s consumer-to-consumer experience. Tise was the first company to receive an investment from eBay Ventures in 2022.
Oliver Klinck, VP and GM of Global Markets Success and C2C at eBay, commented that this acquisition is a natural next step in their investment. He stated that with Tise’s on-trend inventory, loyal community, and social-first approach, eBay will strengthen its C2C offerings and more deeply connect with the next generation of enthusiasts.
eBay’s acquisition of Tise indicates that the company is looking to modernize its platform to attract younger shoppers, expand its social commerce tools, and build a stronger presence in the sustainable retail market.
The deal is expected to close by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, pending customary closing conditions.
Eirik Frøyland Rime, CEO and co-founder of Tise, said that at Tise, they have always believed that making resale fun, easy, and inspiring is key to a more sustainable world. He noted that eBay shares this vision, and with their support, Tise will enhance its community-driven model and enable even more people to participate in the social marketplace.
Founded in 2014, Tise has raised forty-five million dollars in funding according to market intelligence platform Tracxn.
