Three agencies are bidding to become eBay's agency of record after the online auction site issued a formal tender before Christmas.
Leo Burnett had held the account since 2010 but eBay brought in Havas for its Christmas campaign.
That move created friction, which led to a formal pitch via procurement, which is being handled by Trinity P3. It is understood Leo Burnett decided not to pitch.
A decision on the account is expected before the end of March.
