During lockdown 50% of Brits were actively trying to support small businesses with over a third (33.67%) purchasing gifts from small businesses according to research from eBay, the natural home for retail entrepreneurs, who welcomed thousands of independent shops during the lock down and are now eBay small businesses trading on the platform.
Actively buying from small businesses might not be surprising when you consider that 2 in 5 (39.5%) know someone who owns or runs an small business.

So had a look at my sector. China sellers and China Dropshipping. Plus I two of them did not even have business accounts.
Also selling counterfeit 3ds carts….Does not even surprise me anymore I doubt they even contacted ANY UK small business.
Your link to the full list of businesses shows me 4 items.
Why only 700 small business? Why not all small business? Never had an opportunity to opt into this, or made aware of it.
We don’t get any invites to any of these promotions? All we get are hoops to jump through and problems registering for Mangled Payments, with no customer support at all. Cheers ebay- we clearly aren’t worthy
As Erwyn says, why not all small UK Based businesses?
We have previously asked to be include in these deals & are yet to be contacted by the “team”
