How can Start-up Scale-up support my business?

Unique onboarding experience

Start-up Scale-up is a unique onboarding and seller support programme to help you thrive on eBay

Meet the team

"A typical day within the Start-up Scale-up team is all about our sellers. On any given day, I’ll be on calls with sellers or reaching out with regular emails to provide advice that is tailored to their business needs. This level of personalisation is what really helps to accelerate their understanding of the eBay platform, while maximising the visibility and sales potential of their products.


I also speak to potential sellers who have expressed interest in joining Start-up Scale-up, to share an overview of the programme and learn more about their business objectives. I really enjoy getting to know and working to support such a variety of sellers over the course of the programme, which is why I find working as part of the team and programme so rewarding"
