Feb 18 (Reuters) - EBay Inc forecast first-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates ‌on Wednesday and announced the ‌acquisition of fashion marketplace Depop from Etsy for ​nearly $1.2 billion, sending its shares up 7% in extended trading.

The company has focused on specialty categories such as luxury goods ‌and auto parts ⁠to navigate a challenging e-commerce market.

EBay expects first-quarter revenue in ⁠the range of $3 billion to $3.05 billion, compared with analysts’ average estimate of $2.80 billion, ​according to ​data compiled ​by LSEG.

Depop has a “strong ‌momentum in the pre-loved fashion category” which will deepen eBay’s reach with younger, fashion-forward consumers and expand its presence in one of the most dynamic ‌areas of resale, the ​company said.

EBay has worked ​to differentiate ​itself by leaning into “recommerce” and ‌its role in the ​circular economy, ​emphasizing pre-owned, refurbished and authenticated goods.

Shares of the San Jose, California-based company ​gained 40% ‌last year.
