eBay launches 2022 Up & Running grant program

In order to support the growth of small businesses in the United States and provide them with the resources they need to develop online, eBay recently announced that it will launch the 2022 Up&Running grant program.

 
At that time, 50 lucky people will receive $10,000 in cash from eBay.

 
It is understood that eBay's move is to meet the business needs of small sellers, such as the introduction of new equipment for physical stores and online stores, technical support, employee recruitment and training support, to help sellers increase sales and achieve long-term development. In addition, the winning sellers can also receive training and guidance from eBay Academy, professional sellers and eBay growth consultants.

 
Interested eBay sellers can apply for the Up & Running grant online before June 10.

 
Andrea Stairs, vice president of eBay's seller community, said in response to the Up&Running grant program that small businesses are very important to the development of the platform. eBay invests in small businesses in a variety of new ways, providing them with consulting services, support systems and funding. All initiatives are aimed at making eBay the preferred platform for these businesses and together creating the world's most dynamic marketplace.

 
The Up&Running grant program began in 2020, and this year marks the third year that eBay has launched the program.

 
92% of the 2021 program winners said the bonuses, as well as additional business development resources and mentoring opportunities, were necessary to keep their businesses running in the current pandemic-ravaged market environment. In addition, 90% of the winners said the grants and resources provided by eBay gave them hope for the future of their business.

 
One seller who received eBay's 2021 Up&Running grant said enthusiastically, "This eBay program allows me to prepare more inventory and expand my market size. At the same time, I can establish connections with suppliers and businesses that I couldn't contact before. These business connections will play a huge role in the future development of my store."

 
Data shows that 80% of the goods on eBay come from small businesses. In addition, the size of small businesses in the US online market has increased by 27% in the past year. Currently, the online market for small businesses in the US is in a stage of rapid development.

 
Therefore, small businesses in the US online market can seize this opportunity for business growth and work hard to make their stores bigger and stronger.
