eBay Has Originated More Than $1 Billion in Business Loans & Merchant Cash Advances

More than $1 billion of business loans and merchant cash advances have been originated through the eBay Seller Capital program since its inception. The cumulative figure since 2021 was revealed last fall. eBay relies on partners like Liberis to fund the deals.

E-commerce platforms have experienced rapid growth in merchant funding programs over the years. Amazon, Shopify, and LightSpeed, for example, also offer their own financing solutions that generate significant annual volume.

When the eBay partnership with Liberis was announced in 2024, eBay VP & General Manager of Global Payments and Financial Services Avritti Khandurie Mittal, said: “As a pioneer in ecommerce and the home to small businesses in more than 190 markets, eBay understands the challenges small businesses encounter in securing fast, flexible and transparent financing. eBay Seller Capital is aimed at fueling our sellers’ growth by providing them with tailored financing solutions that meet the unique needs of their businesses. The addition of Business Cash Advance to our suite of offerings in partnership with Liberis enables us to expand capital availability for our sellers on flexible terms – when they need it the most.”
