One of the giants in the E-commerce industry, eBay, has launched its NFT collection. This first collection features Wayne Gretsky, a legend in the National Hockey League. Other collectibles were also featured in the launch, which went live on Monday.

The collection features different animated versions of the NHL legend. The company launched four different rare categories. They include green (299 editions), gold (199), platinum (99), and diamond (15).

Both crypto and non-crypto users can get the collection on the e-commerce market. Currently, the gold, diamond, and platinum editions have sold out. The price for gold, platinum, and diamond were $25, $100, and $1500.

eBay Partners With OneOf, NFT Platform 

According to the report, eBay developed the NFT collection in partnership with OneOf. OneOf is an NFT platform that is environmentally focused and supports “energy-efficient blockchains.”

In the middle of 2021, the eCommerce giant introduced NFT listing features on its platform. However, it just added blockchain tech to facilitate sales on the market. 

For the official drop of the NFTs, users who bought will receive a notification. The company will either send them an email or a message on the platform. Afterward, they will receive their NFTs outside the platform. Polygon, the ETH scaling platform, was used to mint the NFTs. Users can trade them on the OneOf NFT marketplace. 

Unfortunately, secondary trading for the NFTs gas received minimal patronage. Users have listed just one gold and three platinum NFT at $69 and $199 on the platform. 

eBay Targets Mainstream Users With Little Crypto Knowledge 

Dawn Block, the vice president of collectibles for eBay, noted that the company targets mainstream users with its NFT collection. Block stated that NFT is revolutionizing the digital space, and eBay will foster the development. 

“By partnering with OneOf, eBay will make coveted NFTs accessible to everyone. Both crypto and mainstream users will be able to buy NFTs. This is part of our commitment to provide high-value items such as NFTs to sellers and buyers on eBay,” Block stated.

Lin Dai, CEO of OneOf, also stated that both companies are working together to make non-fungible tokens accessible to users with little knowledge of crypto.

“You don’t need expert knowledge on crypto to collect, buy, and sell NFTs. eBay and OneOf will bring web3 tech to millions of non-crypto-native consumers,” Dai stated.

In February, eBay’s CEO noted that the company would be adding a crypto payment option. This will allow the company to attract a new generation of internet users. However, the company is yet to set a date for the new service.
