thrill of the search," P.J. said. "Apart from having the best
inventory and rarest sneakers, especially in my size, one of my
favorite parts of shopping on eBay is being able to talk to the
sellers and have a real conversation. I'm excited to be able to
share some of my favorite eBay picks with fans so they can add to
their own collections."
