Posted on in Business News , Cycles News , Political News

eBay has today pledged to support small business owners by offering a 30 day Indie Retail payment holiday for existing sellers and is waiving fees for all new businesses registering to list or sell until 31st May 2020.

The move, which represents a cashflow lifeline worth millions for hundreds of thousands of small businesses, marks an urgent response to calls for additional support by UK entrepreneurs.

"As we adjust to a period of lockdown online selling will be crucial to the survival of many small businesses."

This move by eBay provides self-employed retailers and entrepreneurs who rely on bricks and mortar stores a virtual shop window to reach eBay UK's 26 million customers, without paying any fees until June.

Below is a summary of eBay's offer and you can find out full details here .

  • First 250 listings per month free insertion fees (IF) and no ‘final value fee' (FVF)
  • Expected to help 99% of every new business-to-consumer seller listing on the site
  • Sellers don't need to do anything extra to take advantage of this offer.
