Ebay is launching Amazon-style end-to-end fulfilment service  in the UK

Ebay is launching a new Amazon-style fulfilment service for its sellers in the UK, offering them end-to-end fulfilment even on items sold on other platforms.

Ebay has announced the rollout of its new fulfilment service in collaboration with global logistics firm Orange Connex, offering sellers storage, packing and delivery services for the first time.

Sellers who sign up to the service will have access to dedicated fulfilment centres in Leicester and Birmingham, enabling them to offer next-day delivery, same-day handling and fully tracked services.

According to the marketplace, the service will be available for items purchased both on its own marketplace and third-party platforms.

Ebay has said the rollout is in response to a huge increase in new UK sellers this year, alongside demand from established sellers to grow their businesses.

The model has proved hugely successful for Ebay’s key ecommerce rival Amazon, with over half of the UK’s top Amazon sellers thought to use the service.
