A new feature on Snapchat allows users to share their eBay listings with their followers by including them in their Snaps.

The new Snapchat option opens the app’s camera with an automated eBay sticker that includes a photo of the item and a description. Whether it’s a personal Snap, sent to other users, or posted to a Snap story, users can then click on the eBay sticker to be taken to the listing on the site.
