“Check out the eBay Vault and let us know what you think.”
Not much. eBay really has to prove their competence at this. Their record with past updates and innovations is shaky at best.
There are already questions in the Community boards over what that image is supposed to represent, as they have been vague to date (perhaps understandably, for security reasons) over exactly where the “vault” is (okay, it’s someplace in Delaware) or what it looks like, nor have they said that stored cards could be visited or viewed in person. The image suggests a big overlit art gallery, though any vintage card displayed like that would soon end up bleached and discolored.
Sounds very similar to what their former partner PWCC was already doing.
