US-based online retailer eBay has partnered with Square Capital to offer financial support to its sellers in the US.
Under the agreement, Square Capital will offer up to $100,000 in funding to eligible eBay sellers that will support them to grow their businesses.
eBay Americas senior vice-president Scott Cutler said: “eBay is deeply committed to partnering with our sellers to help them grow their business, and our agreement with Square Capital is a great example of how we are helping our sellers succeed by offering them a fast and easy way to access funding.
“eBay sellers in the US will be able to apply for as little as $500 or as much as $100,000 to help with whatever their business needs might be from payroll and inventory to equipment and marketing. We will continue to invest in our financial service offerings for our sellers.”
The retailer will also send invitations to select customers inviting them to apply for a loan through Square Capital in the third quarter of this fiscal year.
Both the companies will work in collaboration to market Square Capital directly to eBay sellers.
