What Is MC999? (It's Not an eBay Suspension Code)

MC999 is a UK marketplace for independent sellers, not an eBay account suspension code. Here is what MC999 the marketplace actually is.

If you searched for MC999 expecting information about an eBay account suspension message, this article will not help with that. eBay uses MC999 internally as a reference code in some of its own suspension notices, and that is unrelated to us. This page explains what MC999 the marketplace actually is.

What MC999 actually is

MC999 is a UK online marketplace that connects buyers with independent sellers, small businesses, service providers and growing brands. Live categories on mc999.co.uk span Shop Hub, Flea Market and Services, covering areas such as Motoring, Electronics, Fashion, House and Garden, Health and Beauty, and Jewellery and Watches, among others.

How selling works on MC999

Sellers can connect an existing Shopify, BigCommerce or Shopline store to bring their catalogue onto MC999, or list items manually through the marketplace itself. For a seller with a connected shop, checkout stays on that seller's own website, so the buyer completes the purchase there rather than on mc999.co.uk.

MC999 does not take a commission on sales. The marketplace is in an early stage and will move to a monthly subscription later on, but commission will never be introduced.

How buying works

Buyers browse sellers and listings by category on mc999.co.uk. For a seller with a connected shop, the buyer is taken to that seller's own website to complete the order; for manually listed items, the buyer deals with the seller directly through the listing.

Who runs MC999

MC999 is run by MC999 Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Companies House number 14618615), based in Peterborough.
