EBay is launching a feature that is modeled after one-time sample sales that have proved popular for sites such as Rue La La. At eBay’s Fashion Vault, buyers will find limited-time discounts of up to 50% on designer fashions. The feature, which launches today with fashions from French Connection Group, marks a shift in the online auction site’s business model. The Wall Street Journal (3/29)
