Catch up on the latest eBay UK and eBay OPEN updates from General Manager Eve Williams
It was brilliant meeting so many of you in Birmingham last week for a day of sharing ideas, swapping stories and connecting as a community.
Our CEO, Jamie Iannone, even made a surprise appearance, showing just how important UK sellers and your businesses are to us. He enjoyed meeting you all, chatting about your selling experiences and hearing about everything you’re building on eBay.
From hands-on workshops and 1:1 Seller Clinics to our interactive eBay Live Zone, there was plenty to get involved in on the day. With over 1,200 of you joining us in person and hundreds more attending virtually, eBay Open 2026 was our biggest one yet.
We also shared many exciting announcements, including the return of Up & Running Grants for 2026. This year, young entrepreneurs are in the spotlight, with £10,000 and additional support available to up to 20 recipients. Applications are now open, and we can’t wait to read your business plans.
Catch up on more updates from the day in this month’s blog. Read on to find out about new eBay Live features, tools to help you sell and more – all from this year’s eBay Open.
As ever, thank you for selling on eBay.
Eve Williams
General Manager, eBay UK
