eBay launches a ‘Pay As You Grow’ scheme for start-ups

 

To help small retailers facing challenges because of the coronavirus crisis, eBay is launching a new scheme. It is introducing a ‘Pay As You Grow’ project. This will allow sellers to register on the UK marketplace without paying any fees for their first 100 sales every month.

As experts predict, a lot of people will lose their jobs in the coming months. In fact, several employees have already been made redundant. As such, the e-commerce site is offering a lifeline to those wishing to build their own business. It is lowering the barrier to entry in the online world by giving merchants the ability to expand before having to deal with costs. This is not the first time that eBay has been trying to create new economic opportunities in the country. Ever since the start of the pandemic, it has been introducing a wide range of seller support policies.

Already implemented, this project will run until the end of the year. It is inspired by the new UK Government policy of Pay As You Grow loan repayments for small businesses. Thus, sellers registering on eBay do not have to pay listing fees. Additionally, Final Value Fees as a percentage of the sale price will be waived.
