Called eBay Today, the new elements allow users to create profiles, pages, and a stream of collections to their liking. The round-ups are curated by 200 eBay buyers, sellers, and outside tastemakers like designers Eddie Borgo (classic rock &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; roll T-shirts) and Chris Benz (Palm Springs-inspired accessories), party photographer Billy Farrell (biking gadgets), Mad Men&amp;#039;s costumier Janie Bryant, and even Pharrell Williams, who admitted he had never been on eBay before being approached for this project. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t know I could find these things,&amp;quot; Williams shared at a presentation Tuesday morning. &amp;quot;Now I know it&amp;#039;s the cure to the fear of missing out.&amp;quot; Also a curator is songwriter, recording artist, style muse, and serial buyer Solange Knowles. She took us though her collection. Tell us about your eBay collection. This is the sonic playground. I just moved to New Orleans part-time and the first thing I have to do wherever I am is set up a studio. I got into an insane four or five hour eBay haul, because you find all of these things you wouldn&amp;#039;t find if you were to walk into an audio store. Like what? The lime green mic cover, this drum set that I found in multicolored acrylic, and vintage Pioneer acrylic speakers\u2014I&amp;#039;d never seen them before\u2014they&amp;#039;re so amazing.

I&amp;#039;m so happy that a headphone company made headphones for girls that are fashionable, sleek, have good [quality] sound, and are really comfortable, which is a major issue for my hair. I bought the mic cover in every color on eBay, so that when I perform, I can switch the head to match my outfit. It&amp;#039;s very &amp;#039;90s Spice Girls of me, but I&amp;#039;m excited about it. [I chose] a classic, amazing Bang &amp;amp;amp; Olufsen turntable. I actually found a lime green dust cover to match my lime green mic. My studio is full of color and prints\u2014like my style of dressing. I am a strong believer that functionality is always first, but that style should never suffer. [And there is] a cassette player. I sometimes record vocals on a cassette player for the texture. I&amp;#039;m actually starting to record my melody ideas on tape again. The Blu Dot table is the same exact table I have in my studio here. I&amp;#039;m the type of person that if I find something that I love, I buy it again and again. It&amp;#039;s easy and dangerous.     Photo: Loeffler Randall shoes / Courtesy of eBay  What about clothing and shoes?   I shop online in general. I get overwhelmed in stores. I love having a system where it comes to your house, you can try stuff on for two days and then there&amp;#039;s that anonymous nature of being able to return it. If I&amp;#039;m looking for a black blazer, I will buy five and return four. When you&amp;#039;re in a store, it feels excessive. I love that part of shopping online. I love Shopbop and Net-a-Porter.  Check out Solange Knowles&amp;#039; curated picks for eBay, here.
