Opening up more opportunities to access British customers, the announcement follows the company being recognized in The Financial Times’ 1000 fastest growing companies in Europe listing.

According to eMarketer, the lucrative UK consumer market is the world’s third-largest online audience, providing international sellers with an incredibly diverse and responsive consumer base.

Revenues have grown by double digits in the past five years. This is because the nation of online shoppers embraces the convenience of eCommerce and the savings to be realized by sourcing products from other markets.

Online sellers entering the UK ecommerce market can expect to see sustained growth as sales are forecast to continue to rise.

Since its inception in 2016, OnBuy has existed to redefine the marketplace model by vowing never to compete with its retailers.

Instead, the marketplace prioritizes treating them fairly as equal partners, offering them competitive selling fees, PayPal seller protection and dedicated support.

With this seller-friendly business philosophy, OnBuy has attracted more than 11,000 retailers, hosting over 36 million products on the platform.

There is a strong underlying demand for a marketplace like OnBuy worldwide that champions a ‘retailer first’ approach. Following a recent investment round, OnBuy has been able to invest heavily in product improvements and localized payment options.

OnBuy – UK Today, The World Tomorrow

This means the company is in a robust position to offer its services to international retailers looking to enter the UK market and eventually the world as the marketplace is laying down plans to expand internationally.

“We created OnBuy to provide something unique: a clear, level playing field which allows retailers to thrive. We want to take this model and offer it to overseas retailers wishing to take advantage of targeting the profitable UK consumer market. Our vision is to be ‘the best choice for every customer everywhere’, so we’re keen to start building international relationships and expanding our presence, putting us one step closer to making this vision possible.”
