eBay adds home services to its site via new partners Handy, Porch and InstallerNet

The company this morning announced new partnerships with Handy, Porch and InstallerNet, which will allow online shoppers the option of booking installation and assembly services when buying items that require a bit of extra work -- like TVs, bikes, furniture and more. The option will be presented during check-out and, if selected, eBay will then follow up with an email from its partners so the customer can proceed to schedule the installation. New York-based Handy will be available to handle things like TV mounting, smart home setup, furniture assembly and more.
