eBay, the enormous e-commerce, has been ramping up its fashion section. Not only providing world-wide shipment, it just introduced the new way of shopping through look book on Monday, Sept. 20.

eBay LookBook is an effort to enhance eBay Fashion offering features for easier and quicker navigation. It’s an advanced form of catalog that displays photos from customers on the streets and links their fashion items to eBay’s products.

The look book is described as a “democratized celebration of personal style” and a “user-generated shop-able style gallery.”

“It enables eBay users to browse various style and trends for fall then shop eBay based on what inspires them”, said Miriam Lahage, General Manager of eBay Fashion.

Not to forget, eBay LookBook is also holding a contest allowing users to vote the outfits they like best. The winner of US$ 5,000 shopping spree on eBay will be determined out of the top 25 choices.

They will also held a photo shot session on New York and Los Angeles on Sept. 29 to gather more participation.
