How eBay Seller Capital helps businesses succeed
It’s important to be prepared for any challenge when you're running a business, especially with rising operational costs and unexpected opportunities. The British Business Bank1 reported that the use of external finance by small businesses saw a consistent rise in 2023, growing from 41% in Q1 to 50% in Q3. This shows that plenty of business owners are looking to reach their growth potential, whether through bulk inventory purchases, expansions, equipment leasing or increased hiring.
Many small businesses have challenging credit histories and are unable to secure traditional financing. However, with eBay Seller Capital, your selling history is the most important consideration, and only a soft credit pull is conducted, so you can get funding quickly and easily.

eBay Seller Capital success story
DVS Power Tools
DVS Power Tools took out a £100k eBay Seller Capital financing in 2021 and have renewed multiple times since. Their business has grown significantly, moving from around £100k in monthly revenue to £600k just eighteen months later. DVS used the funding to expand their business and took advantage of products that were on the market at a discounted rate because of COVID.
Seller Capital appealed to DVS as the application process was simple, straightforward and efficient.
“While it was very difficult to get traditional funding, eBay Seller Capital was a really simple, easy process to follow. It’s a product that works really well for an e-commerce business.”
