eBay has launched its second curated marketplace, eBay Collective, with furniture, fine art and home decor from hand-picked dealers.

The new site promises unique home furnishings “that can traditionally only be found in independent brick-and-mortar stores,” and will have a content element, as well. eBay will handpick editorial stories from Architectural Digest and Archdigest.com covering the latest home furnishings news, trends and decorating/shopping ideas.

eBay Collective will also use a “Shop the Look” artificial intelligence engine that came from eBay’s recent acquisition of Corrigon, a visual search company. The AI involved will allow shoppers to hover over an image and generate search results from eBay Collective’s inventory that match what’s in the image.
