Back in April 2022, after nearly two years of no in-person events (and endless video calls), we wanted to help sellers reconnect with one another - while providing some extra support for small businesses.
But where to host an in-person event? With sellers scattered across the UK and so many towns and cities to choose from, it was an impossible task to choose just one location. So, we chose 12.
From here, the idea of a nationwide eBay Business Roadshow was born - and it didn’t disappoint. Such was the excitement of the eBay seller community coming together after such a long absence, it’s difficult to sum up everything in words. So, we’ve captured the spirit of the events in numbers instead:
Over 3,000 miles travelled and 12 locations visited: Sheffield, Salford, Newcastle, Glasgow, Norwich, Leicester, Reading, Southend-on-Sea, Plymouth, Bristol, Belfast and Cardiff
More than 3,000 attendees - with a mix of new and experienced sellers - joined us across the 12 events!
Over £1,000,000 in grants and support packages awarded!
1,300 1:1 marketplace advisor sessions delivered by our eBay experts
120+ sessions, spanning everything from optimising listings, to becoming a more sustainable business, mastering the art of social media, how to leverage eBay’s seller tools and services, and so much more!
5,282 coffees, 4,301 teas and 3,958 cakes served (or there or thereabouts)
Plentiful opportunities to meet eBay service providers, such as Ad-Lister, Linnworks, GS1 and YouLend
Finally, a HUGE thank you to our partners, British Chambers of Commerce and Small Business Britain, without whom the eBay Business Roadshow would not have been possible.
Unfortunately, like all good things, the eBay Business Roadshow had to come to an end. BUT not before it returns for one last hurrah. So, without further ado, we’re incredibly excited that the Advanced Business Roadshow will land in Brighton at The Grand Hotel on Thursday 8 June 2023!
This event is exactly what it says on the tin - and is primed for experienced sellers that are looking to scale their business. If this sounds like you, register to secure your place and join us for a day of hands-on learning and networking, with highlights including:
- Real-world success stories from inspirational sellers
- Expert-led sessions to help grow eBay business
- Networking opportunities with like-minded sellers

We look forward to seeing you there!
