Shaheen expressed his confidence that this initiative will significantly enhance the services and unique benefits offered by Dubai CommerCity, ensuring that the diverse needs of its licensed local and international companies and brands are fully met. These include smart logistical facilities, advanced infrastructure, and cutting-edge technology.

 

Ashish Chabbra, Vice President Global Verticals, at eBay, said: “Our primary focus in the UAE is to enable local retailers to sell to the world through our marketplace, connecting them with 132 million active buyers across 190 countries. We are pleased to collaborate with Dubai CommerCity, the first free zone dedicated to digital commerce in the region. This partnership will enhance the supply of high-demand auto parts and luxury products from the UAE, leveraging our technology and infrastructure to support growth and reshape the digital commerce landscape.”

Chabbra added that the new arrangement represents an exciting opportunity for forward-thinking companies to learn how to leverage eBay’s platform, with support from Dubai CommerCity, to expand and scale their e-commerce operations globally.

 

Through this collaboration, companies based in Dubai CommerCity will have the opportunity to connect with international sellers via eBay marketplaces. They will also benefit from training programs and seminars led by platform experts, focusing on digital trade export solutions, best practices, and strategies to maximize export opportunities through digital retail. Additionally, companies will receive a complimentary three-month eBay Basic store subscription, among other features designed to enhance their growth and extend their global reach.

 

Dubai CommerCity, in turn, will actively support eBay by encouraging companies under its umbrella to participate in the workshops, seminars, and educational events organized by eBay. It will also provide the necessary infrastructure to facilitate these programs. Additionally, Dubai CommerCity will offer comprehensive support to users of the eBay digital platform who wish to establish their business in Dubai.
