Before you pass this video off as boring, just give it a chance. Does it remind you of anything?
Maybe it reminds you of, oh, this other big ass site called PINTEREST.
Here's what my eBay page looks like when I login.
When I search for other things, like "Givenchy," eBay gives me the option of "following" them.

The sexy Pinterest-esque redesign may make sense for eBay since users spend a lot of time on the site. As of February, Pinners were spending more time on Pinterest on average per month than Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ combined, and eBay might want the redesign to encourage users to approach the site similarly obsessively. Pinners who use the site as a portal to buy stuff on other retail sites also spend more — $168.83 on average — than Facebook ($94.70) or Twitter ($70.84), making its appeal to retailers obvious. And eBay is basically the biggest consignment shop in the world. Besides, the old eBay looked pretty janky.
