eBay to provide funding for business sellers

eBay and Liberis Launch Flexible Growth Financing for UK Small Businesses

eBay UK today announced a new partnership with global finance provider Liberis, to introduce ‘Flexible Growth Financing’. This new funding product will be available for UK business sellers starting from April 2026 as part of eBay's Seller Capital  program.

‘Flexible Growth Financing’ will provide sellers a funding limit tailored to their business needs and access to funds as and when they need them, either in full or in stages. This funding is commonly used to restock or expand inventory, enhance product listings, and invest in strategic marketing.

52% of UK SMEs report poor access to affordable credit. They are held back by  lengthy and complex application processes, fear of rejection, and high borrowing costs. The result is a funding gap that is actively limiting the growth of small businesses across the UK.

Eve Williams, General Manager of eBay UK, said: “Small business growth is vital to the UK economy, but access to the right kind of funding remains one of the biggest barriers for many entrepreneurs. 

“Through eBay Seller Capital and our partnership with Liberis, we’re embedding flexible finance directly into our platform, giving sellers fast, data-driven access to funding that adapts to their sales and puts them firmly in control of their growth.”
