In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I react to a series of clips of my 2008 self predicting live streaming and live shopping. I break down why live shopping right now is exactly what social media was in 2007. I also share why everyone who makes a product must be live shopping every day, why salesmen who sucked at social have a good chance at crushing live shopping, and the difference between a social media influencer and a live shopping host. I also discuss the gold rush of personal brand and the long tail where even the 900,000th best live shopping host wins.You'll learn about:• The 2008 Live Shopping (QVC) Prediction• How Live Streaming Builds Community• Live Shopping Vs. Being An Influencer• The Gold Rush Of Personal Brand
a16z General Partner David George is joined by Grant LaFontaine, co-founder of Whatnot, to unpack how a marketplace that started with collectibles evolved into one of the world's leading live shopping platforms. Grant traces the company's origins from selling Pokémon cards online as a kid to discovering live commerce by watching Whatnot's earliest customers hack together sales on social media. They discuss why Whatnot thinks less like a traditional e-commerce marketplace and more like a digital shopping mall, where discovery, entertainment, community, and commerce all happen at once. Today, users spend roughly 95 minutes a day on the platform, and most aren't even buying something on a given day. They also explore how Whatnot is enabling small businesses to reach global audiences, expanding from collectibles into categories like fashion, food, and golf, and using AI to make sellers more efficient without replacing the human connection at the center of the experience.

In dieser Ausgabe des #socialcommercechat spricht Kristina wieder mit Jochen Krisch (Exciting Commerce) über die neuesten Entwicklungen rund um TikTok Shop und vor allem über neue Zahlen, die ziemlich eindrucksvoll zeigen, mit welcher Geschwindigkeit die Plattform wächst.TikTok Shop kam 2025 weltweit auf ein GMV von rund 64 Mrd. US-Dollar – fast doppelt so viel wie im Vorjahr. Für 2026 deuten aktuelle Hochrechnungen sogar auf mehr als 100 Mrd. US-Dollar hin. Damit entwickelt sich TikTok Shop innerhalb weniger Jahre zu einem der relevantesten E-Commerce-Player weltweit.Wir schauen uns an, wo dieses Wachstum eigentlich herkommt: Welche Märkte treiben TikTok Shop? Wie entwickelt sich Deutschland im europäischen Vergleich? Und warum ist ausgerechnet der klassische Marketplace-Bereich inzwischen größer als Short Video und Live Shopping?Darüber sprechen wir:
Amazon keeps raising the bar. Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc open with the retailer's blockbuster quarter: massive gains in AWS and advertising, staggering AI capex, and retail revenue up 16% year over year, up from 12% last year. Third-party sellers now drive more than 60% of the business, and Citi pegs underlying GMV growth near 10%, roughly double the industry average. Amazon's B2B division alone now tops $60 billion, bigger than all but eleven U.S. retailers. Then the hosts dig into the agentic commerce numbers Amazon disclosed as Rufus folds into Alexa shopping, why sample bias demands caution here, and how grocery momentum is turning Amazon into a mega market-share threat. Then: Shopify's revenue up 32%, and the tale-of-two-cities reality that a handful of giants now drive nearly all e-commerce growth. A mid-year check on Steve's Prediction #8 — luxury's future won't be evenly distributed. LVMH, Kering, and Capri lag on China softness and war induced Gulf weakness, while Hermès, Ralph Lauren, Richemont, and Zegna keep delivering outsized results. Live from the CommerceNext Growth Show: Kartik Hosanagar. He's Wharton's John C. Hower Professor of Technology and Digital Business, author of A Human's Guide to Machine Intelligence, and co-founder of Bliss Labs. His argument: the biggest shift in retail isn't a new technology or channel. It's a new customer. Treating AI as another distribution channel is the same mistake movie studios made with Netflix. There's no marketing science for AI yet. $9.99 pricing, scarcity, social proof — a model may not respond to any of it. Kartik walks through the Ridge wallet case: invisible in ChatGPT's "gifts for men" results, then the default recommendation within three weeks, complete with a hallucinated promotion. Every retailer faces the same fork: efficiency or meaning. The middle is the most dangerous place to stand. Kartik also details the simulation sandboxes that let brands test counterfactuals in a day instead of eight weeks, why you can't just ask an LLM why it picked a brand, and the three attitudes retailers need now: curious, experimental, collaborative Back in studio: Wayfair's encouraging quarter and Steve's change of heart, Warby Parker's mixed report as store count passes 400, tariff rebates ($100 billion of $160 billion already repaid, more tariffs looming), and whether live selling has hit its tipping point with QVC out of bankruptcy and Whatnot valued at $20 billion. About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers. He is the bestselling author of two books: Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption and Remarkable Retail: How To Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption. Steve regularly shares his insights in his role as a Forbes senior retail contributor and on social media.Michael LeBlanc is a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and media entrepreneur. Michael has delivered keynotes, hosted fire-side discussions hosted senior retail executive on-stage in 1:1 interviews worldwide. Michael produces and hosts a network of leading retail trade podcasts, including The Remarkable Retail Podcast, The Voice of Retail, The Food Professor, The FEED powered by Loblaw and the Global eCommerce Leaders podcast. He has been recognized by the NRF as a global Top Retail Voice for 2025 and 2026 and continues to be a ReThink Retail Top Retail Expert for the fifth year in a row.
TikTok Shop is quietly building the biggest impulse-buying machine in retail history — a live, algorithmically-fed home shopping channel on track for $112 billion in sales this year alone. Alex and John trace live shopping back to the QVC playbook of the 1980s, work out why parasocial trust converts better than any ad ever could, and confess their own TikTok- and Facebook Marketplace-fuelled purchases. Also: why eBay is panicking, why Australia still can't get TikTok Shop, and the hashtag #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt that explains it all.
In today's MadTech Daily, we discuss Nielsen acquiring DoubleVerify in a $2.15 billion deal, eBay leaning into live shopping as it chases Whatnot and TikTok Shop, and AANA and ADMA merging to form the new Marketing Association of Australia.
In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Logan Paul at the National Sports Card Convention in Chicago, IL to talk about how the market has become dramatically more disciplined and why people need to grow up around accountability. I share why you should never spend money on things you can't afford to lose and why we need to stop yucking everybody else's yum. I also discuss the community power of live shopping, the discipline of answering your DMs, and what I'd tell a 12-year-old walking in with $100.You'll learn about:• Why The Market Is Smarter Now• Personal Responsibility Over Blame• Collect What You Love• Live Shopping As Community

+++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern findet ihr hier: https://linktr.ee/capital_podcast +++ Die Handelsplattform Ebay gehörte auch in Deutschland zu den Pionieren im Ecommerce. Mit Auktionen und skurrilen Verkäufen wie dem Golf des früheren Papstes erwarb man sich den Ruf eines Marktplatzes für alle, die ihren Speicher entrümpeln. Aktuell gibt es in Deutschland 18 Millionen Kunden. Im Laufe der Jahre aber hat sich die Plattform von den alten Prinzipien entfernt, es kamen immer mehr professionelle Händler, und auch das Prinzip der Auktion trat in den Hintergrund. Ebay wurde damit beliebiger und angreifbarer für Billig-Verkäufer aus China und anderen Ländern. Das soll sich nun ändern, das Unternehmen will zurück zu seinen Wurzeln. „Wenn man sich die Jahre zwischenzeitlich anschaut, gab es einen Teilbereich, da Ebay mehr in Neuware reingegangen ist“, sagt Deutschlandchefin Saskia Meier-Andrae im Capital Wirtschaftspodcast. „Seit einigen Jahren fokussieren wir uns sehr dediziert auf unseren Kern.“ Auktionen machen derzeit nur 20 Prozent der Verkäufe auf der Plattform aus, weshalb Ebay ein Format namens „Live Shopping“ aufgelegt hat, bei dem die Händler ihre Ware in Live-Videos anpreisen und auf Kundenanfragen direkt reagieren. „Live Shopping ist wie QVC auf LSD“, sagt Meier-Andrae – die glaubt, dass sich Ebay so von anderen abgrenzen kann: „Wir sehen Shein oder Temu nicht als Wettbewerber.“ Im Podcast erzählt Meier-Andrae, warum sie vor künstlicher Intelligenz keine Angst hat und für welche Summe eine Playmobil-Figur von Friedrich Merz unter den Hammer kam.

Live-Shopping galt hierzulande lange als gescheitert – doch jetzt kommt das Format mit Wucht zurück. In Asien läuft längst ein Drittel des E-Commerce darüber, in Deutschland fängt der Markt gerade erst an. Die spannende Frage: Welche Strategie steckt dahinter, und was braucht es, um erfolgreich zu sein? Auf der K5 spricht Joel mit zwei Perspektiven, die sich perfekt ergänzen: Saskia Meier-Andrae, Geschäftsführerin von eBay, die Live zu ihrem Herzensthema gemacht hat, und Karo Junker de Neui von eTribes und dem Kassenzone-Podcast, die die Modelle der einzelnen Player nebeneinanderlegt. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Saskia Live-Shopping „QVC auf LSD“ nennt, wie eine Uhr ab einem Euro für 92.000 Euro weggeht, wie sich eBay, TikTok Shop und Whatnot strategisch unterscheiden, wie man Händler zu Live-Stars macht – und warum Live ausgerechnet der Gegenpol zu Agentic Commerce ist. Du erfährst... …wie eBay Live-Shopping die Zukunft des E-Commerce revolutioniert. …welche Strategien und Erfolgsfaktoren hinter Live-Shopping stehen. …warum Authentizität und Community bei eBay im Fokus stehen. __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||
In der neusten Folge vom OMT-Podcast führt Mario Jung (OMT GmbH) ein Interview mit Yara Molthan (Etribes Connect GmbH) darüber, warum der eCommerce-Goldrausch vorbei ist und Unternehmen 2026 radikal anders arbeiten müssen. Yara beschreibt, dass Wachstum nicht mehr automatisch mit dem Markt kommt: Konsument:innen sind preissensibler, Customer Acquisition Costs explodieren und KI-Suchergebnisse verschieben SEO-Traffic massiv Richtung Paid. Gleichzeitig belasten Inflation, geopolitische Krisen und Lieferkettenprobleme das Konsumklima. Erfolgreiche Unternehmen reagieren darauf, indem sie zuerst ihren Maschinenraum modernisieren: saubere Daten, semantisch reiche Produktinformationen, flexible Tech-Stacks und Automatisierung in Bestandsplanung, Kundenservice oder Retourenmanagement. Entscheidend ist ein iterativer Modus, in dem Hypothesen getestet, Ressourcen bewusst priorisiert und eine klare Master-KPI verfolgt wird, statt alles gleichzeitig zu wollen. Beim Thema KI betont Yara, dass 95 % der Projekte scheitern – nicht wegen Technologie, sondern wegen Kultur. Teams müssen verstehen, wofür KI eingesetzt wird, welche Datenqualität nötig ist und wie Leuchtturmprojekte Ängste abbauen. Gleichzeitig entsteht ein spannendes Paradox: Während KI Content vereinheitlicht und Prozesse automatisiert, steigt der Wunsch nach echter Menschlichkeit. Kund:innen sehnen sich nach Beratung, Community und persönlicher Interaktion. Genau hier entsteht Differenzierung: Omni-Channel-Erlebnisse, echte Berater:innen, KI-gestützte Shopping-Advisor und Formate wie Live Shopping oder Social Commerce schaffen Verbindung statt Austauschbarkeit. Die Balance liegt darin, Use-Case-basiert zu entscheiden, wo Automatisierung sinnvoll ist und wo menschliche Interaktion Vertrauen, Emotion und Bindung erzeugt. Für Teams bedeutet das: Fähigkeiten wie kritisches Denken, Trendkompetenz, Storytelling, Community-Building und Experimentierfreude werden wichtiger als operative Routine. Technologie übernimmt repetitive Aufgaben, Menschen schaffen die Momente, die Marken unverwechselbar machen. Yaras Kernbotschaft: Stillstand ist keine Option. Wer jetzt Daten, Tech und Kultur neu ausrichtet, kann trotz Marktveränderungen nachhaltig wachsen. Wenn Du im eCommerce oder Online-Marketing arbeitest, ist diese Podcast-Folge ein Pflicht-Impuls für Deine Agenda 2026. Hör rein, um zu verstehen, wie Du Effizienz, KI und echten Human Touch kombinierst — und warum genau diese Mischung über Deinen Erfolg entscheidet.

Künstliche Intelligenz verändert gerade, wie wir einkaufen – und für Marktplätze steht dabei die wichtigste Ressource auf dem Spiel: die direkte Schnittstelle zum Kunden. Wenn künftig Agenten suchen, vergleichen und kaufen, wer hat dann überhaupt noch Platz zwischen KI und Bankkonto? Auf der K5 bringt Joel gemeinsam mit PAYBACK-Chef Dominik Dommick zwei der wichtigsten Köpfe im Handel auf die Bühne: Rocco Bräuniger von Amazon und Saskia Meier-Andrae von eBay. Beide zeigen erstaunlich offen, wo KI schon heute messbaren Mehrwert bringt – und wo sie noch experimentieren. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Amazons Verkaufsberater Rufus 12 Milliarden Dollar zusätzlichen Umsatz bewegt, warum eBay voll auf Live-Shopping und einzigartige Ware setzt, wie Same-Day-Grocery den Einkauf verändert – und warum am Ende die menschliche Komponente über den Erfolg entscheidet. Du erfährst... ...wie Amazon durch AI-Tools den Umsatz um Milliarden steigert und Kundenerlebnisse optimiert. ...warum eBay auf Live-Shopping setzt und wie einzigartige Produkte Emotionen wecken. ...welche Herausforderungen und Chancen AI im E-Commerce birgt und wie Unternehmen darauf reagieren. __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||

In Asien ist Live-Commerce längst ein Milliardenmarkt – in Europa winken viele Händler:innen noch ab: schon dreimal gehypt, schon dreimal verpufft. Dabei zeigt der Blick nach Osten, wie aus Livestreams echtes Geschäft wird – bis hin zur Rolex, die bei einem Euro startet und für 90.000 Euro den Besitzer wechselt. Saskia Meier-Andrae, Deutschland-Chefin von eBay, baut Live-Shopping gerade mit voller Wucht auf. Tech-Blogger Sascha Pallenberg ordnet aus Taiwan ein, was in den asiatischen Märkten wirklich abgeht. Gemeinsam übersetzen sie die Mechaniken für den deutschen Markt. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Vertrauen, Community und Entertainment zusammenkommen müssen, wieso die Nische der eigentliche Hebel ist, wie Programmdichte und feste Sendeplätze funktionieren – und warum das klassische Shopping-TV gerade in den Sonnenuntergang reitet.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I talk about the massive shift from social media to interest media and why your brand needs to be obsessed with the end consumer. I encourage you to look past the "dirty data" and fake reports that are stalling our industry and start using common sense to see where attention is actually going. I also discuss the "Barbell Syndrome" - the simultaneous rise of extreme AI digitalization and the return to analog, real-life activations. You'll learn about:The shift from SEO to AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)Why I'm betting big on Live Shopping and apps like WhatnotThe transition from Social Media to Interest MediaHow to use organic social content as a free testing ground for your productsWhy "Convenience is King" will always drive consumer behavior
Wie verändert KI die Art, wie wir künftig einkaufen? Und welche Rolle spielen dabei Live-Shopping, Re-Commerce und Agentic Commerce? Darüber spricht Verena Gründel mit Saskia Meier-Andrae, Vice President and General Manager, eBay Germany & Central Europe. Die Art, wie Menschen Produkte suchen und entdecken, steht vor einem grundlegenden Wandel. Für Saskia Meier-Andrae ist klar: Die klassischen Filter auf Websites könnten schon bald Geschichte sein. Statt mühsam Kategorien, Größen und Preise auszuwählen, werden Nutzer künftig in natürlicher Sprache mit intelligenten Systemen interagieren. Die KI kennt Vorlieben, Größen, frühere Käufe und sogar den Inhalt des Kleiderschranks. Produktsuche wird dadurch persönlicher, intuitiver und deutlich komfortabler. Gleichzeitig entstehen neue Herausforderungen für Händler und Plattformen. Denn wenn KI-Agenten den Einkauf übernehmen, stellt sich eine zentrale Frage: Wer besitzt künftig die Kundenbeziehung? Besonders spannend ist Saskias Blick auf Live-Commerce. Während viele Menschen dabei sofort an Teleshopping denken, sieht sie darin vielmehr eine Mischung aus Community, Entertainment und Commerce. Bei eBay stehen nicht austauschbare Massenprodukte im Mittelpunkt, sondern häufig einzigartige Artikel: Luxusuhren, Vintage-Handtaschen, Sammelkarten oder Refurbished-Produkte. Händler präsentieren ihre Ware live, beantworten Fragen der Community und schaffen Vertrauen durch direkte Interaktion. Ein entscheidender Unterschied zu vielen KI-getriebenen Entwicklungen: Live-Commerce lebt von Menschen. Spannende Zahlen aus dieser Episode: Rund 40 Prozent des eBay-Umsatzes stammen bereits aus nicht neuer Ware. In Asien werden bereits etwa 35 Prozent des E-Commerce-Umsatzes über Live-Commerce generiert. Der globale Live-Commerce-Markt soll laut Prognosen von 25,6 Milliarden auf 74,5 Milliarden US-Dollar bis 2030 wachsen. eBay Live ist mittlerweile in sieben Ländern verfügbar. Der weltweite Außenumsatz von eBay Live hat sich gegenüber dem Vorjahr verachtfacht. Einzelne Luxusuhren-Verkäufe erzielen in Livestreams Preise von über 90.000 Euro. Hör jetzt in die Folge rein und entdecke, wie sich das Einkaufen der Zukunft entwickelt.
Live shopping has been "the next big thing" in Australian ecommerce for five years. Grayson White has been doing it for fifteen.Grayson White started running "breaks" (the trading card version of live shopping) at Cherry Collectables back in 2008.

Eine klare Kaufabsicht und Expertise schlagen Entertainment, weil Zuschauer sich mit einer Person oder Marke identifizieren. Umsetzung: vor der Kamera authentisch auftreten, Expertise zeigen und eine konsistente persönliche Marke aufbauen.Professionelle Prozesse als BasisProfessioneller Handel auf Marktplätzen erfordert eine registrierte Firma, Strategie, Prozesse und Plan. Privatverkäufe bleiben oft nebenbei; Skalierung gelingt, wenn Inventar, Logistik, Preisstrategie und Multi-Channel-Verkauf geplant sind. Umsetzung: starte mit Marktplatz-Studium, erstelle eine klare Strategie, nutze das Verkäufercockpit Pro zur Steuerung von Inventar, Bestellungen und Marketing.Sichtbarkeit durch Angebotspflege und AdvertisingSichtbarkeit auf eBay basiert auf Relevanz, Kaufhäufigkeit und Bewertungen; Advertising-Tools wie Gutscheine oder Multi-Buy unterstützen die Reichweite. Ein gut gepflegtes Angebot plus effiziente Versand- und Rückgabeprozesse sind Voraussetzung, bevor Advertising wirkt. Umsetzung: optimiere Titel, Bilder und Beschreibung, reduziere Lieferkosten und nutze Availability-Boosts via Advertising.Markenbildung durch Live-StreamsLive-Streaming wird genutzt, um Marke, Sichtbarkeit und Community rund um Produkte aufzubauen, nicht nur zu verkaufen. Authentizität der präsentierenden Person zählt, Inhalte dienen der Kaufintention und Snippets aus Streams erzeugen wiederkehrenden Content. Umsetzung: starte in Kategorien, baue Hosts oder Partnerschaften auf und nutze Live-Content als eigenständigen Kanal neben klassischen Listings.KI sinnvoll integrieren, Mensch bleibt EntscheiderAI kommt im Arbeitsalltag zum Einsatz (Enterprise GBT, Gemini, eigene GPTs) und beschleunigt Tasks wie Content-Erstellung und E-Mail-Kommunikation. Entscheidungen bleiben aber letztlich beim Menschen, AI dient als Unterstützung statt als Ersatz. Umsetzung: nutze AI für Routine-Aufgaben, setze klare Governance und behalte Verantwortung bei zentralen Entscheidungen.KeywordseBay LiveLive-CommerceVerkäufercockpit ProEchtheitsprüfung LuxusartikelReCommerce preloved FashionWie werde ich eBay Live VerkäuferErfolgreich verkaufen auf eBay Live StreameBay Advertising Strategien für HändlerOnboarding von Influencer für eBay LiveMulti-Channel-Strategie MarktplatzaufbauContent Clips aus Live StreamsCommunity-Building im Live-Shopping
After years of hype around live shopping in the U.S., Whatnot looks like it might be one of the first companies to truly make the model stick at scale.In this episode of Retail Remix, host Nicole Silberstein speaks with Whatnot's VP of Categories and Expansion Armand Wilson about why the platform's community-first approach is resonating with Western consumers. Armand explains how Whatnot evolved from a collectibles marketplace built around trust into a live shopping platform spanning hundreds of categories — everything from trading cards to tomahawk steaks — and how live commerce creates a more human, transparent and personalized shopping experience than traditional ecommerce.Key TakeawaysWhy Whatnot's model differs from live shopping in China and is built more around community and expertise than mass product pushing; How the platform grew to more than $8 billion in GMV in 2025, doubling year over year; Why trust, transparency and seller expertise are central to the Whatnot's experience; How the platform's algorithm blends social engagement signals and purchase intent to surface the right streams to the right buyers; Why categories like beauty and food are opening up new opportunities; What makes a successful Whatnot seller (hint: it has more to do with business fundamentals than a sparkling personality, although that certainly helps); andWhy Armand believes 2026 could be the year live shopping goes mainstream in the U.S. Related LinksExplore live shopping on Whatnot and discover sellers across categoriesRelated reading: Gary V on the Shifting Landscape of Attention and the Death of Don Draper MarketingGet more retail industry insights from Retail TouchPointsSubscribe and catch up on all episodes of Retail Remix
