Rodriguez Turns to eBay for New Online Sales Channel; Original 8-Piece
Collection Debuts in Spring 2010

eBay (Nasdaq:EBAY), the world`s largest online marketplace and leading U.S.
destination for clothing, shoes and accessories, today announced plans with
designer Narciso Rodriguez to introduce an original eight-piece capsule
collection to be sold exclusively through the Narciso Rodriguez eBay Store
beginning in Spring 2010. The collection, to be called Narciso Rodriguez for
eBay, will offer style makers worldwide high-quality designer fashion and
redefines how and where savvy shoppers buy designer brand name clothing at
accessible prices. 

"I want to be associated with leaders and I am extremely excited by the
possibilities that this new online sales channel brings to my business long
term," say Rodriguez. "For me it`s always been about dressing many women of all
ages, all types, all sizes, and this special collection on eBay is a unique
opportunity to reach a broad global audience. I`m as excited about my eBay
collection as I am about the one that will be coming down the runway this fall."


This high-quality, affordable collection, which is the first of its kind from
Narciso Rodriguez, will be comprised of eight pieces including versions of his
coveted designs. Created in a red, black and white color palette, all of the
pieces will bear Rodriguez`s signature, streamlined look and sophisticated color
blocking and will be available only through the Narciso Rodriguez eBay Store,
offered at fixed price points from $75 to $350. 

"We`re thrilled that Narciso Rodriguez sees the power of eBay as an innovative,
smart way to introduce his first capsule collection to savvy fashion-conscious
consumers worldwide," said Alan Marks, Senior Vice President of Global
Communications for eBay. "With an apparel business approaching $5 billion
annually and more than 88 million active users, eBay gives Rodriguez the
opportunity to reach a broader audience and create an attractive new business
model in today`s competitive apparel retail environment." 

Rodriguez, a three-time Council of Fashion Designers of America winner, is a
celebrity fashion favorite who regularly dresses the likes of Michelle Obama,
Sarah Jessica Parker, Rachel Weisz, Claire Danes and Jessica Alba. To learn more
