About eBay

 

eBay was the first online marketplace. Today, it’s a household name. A regular feature in lists of best loved brands, it connects millions of buyers and sellers, helping customers to find the item they’re looking for from its 1.5 billion listings. With 147 million active buyers in 190 markets, trade is fast. The UK website sells a car part every second, and with the aid of the authenticity guarantee programme, a sneaker is purchased every 5 seconds.

This incredible interest directly benefits the small businesses who trade on eBay, giving them access to an audience once unthinkable for a small shop on the high street. Throughout its history, eBay has helped many thousands of small businesses to succeed. Small British firms regularly rank in the top five grossing sellers on eBay.co.uk’s biggest trading days like Black Friday, and over one thousand British sellers who started with a shop on eBay are now running million pound businesses, providing jobs to people in their communities.

By partnering with sellers in this way, eBay.co.uk has helped hundreds of thousands of British entrepreneurs over its 25-year history. As a hub of retail in the UK, the marketplace also continues to welcome top brands to the site – including Dyson, Halfords, GoPro, Canon and more.

eBay also makes it easy for customers to give to charitable organisations. Using eBay for Charity, sellers can donate a portion of their sales and buyers can shop while supporting their favourite causes – adding to the funds that eBay.co.uk has raised for UK charities to date.

Did you know?

  • eBay has 147 million active buyers around the world.
  • In the UK, eBay serves over 20m Brits a month.

Smart Meters

Smart Meters

Smart Energy GB is the not-for-profit, government-backed campaign helping homes and small businesses across Great Britain understand the importance of smart meters and their benefits to people and the environment.

Smart meters are the next generation of gas and electricity meter. They aim to help small businesses feel more in control of their budgeting by sending gas and electricity readings straight to their energy supplier.

So, rather than estimates, businesses receive accurate energy bills, meaning that they’ll know exactly how much their business is spending on their energy each month.
