Marketplace Expansion
Every UK marketplace, one Pattern partnership.
Your products on Amazon, Tesco, eBay, and TikTok Shop.
Why United Kingdom marketplace expansion matters.
The UK is the third largest ecommerce market in the world, making it a strong target for brands expanding their ecommerce business. Amazon UK is a great starting point, and beyond that, Tesco Marketplace, which launched in June 2024, and TikTok Shop, currently the UK’s fastest-growing channel, offer further opportunities. eBay UK remains high-intent for the right categories.
Marketplaces we manage.

Frequently asked questions
Fulfilment differs per UK marketplace, though it all runs from Northampton. Amazon UK is served through priority FBA inbound, which reaches sellable status in two days. Tesco Marketplace and eBay UK are merchant-fulfilled from the same facility, and TikTok Shop orders dispatch within 48 hours. One location, four different routes out.
Amazon UK is the usual starting point, but the right second platform depends on your category. eBay UK stays high-intent for home, clothing, electronics, automotive, health and beauty, and collectables. TikTok Shop suits brands that can support content and creator activity. Tesco Marketplace is newer and still building its seller base, which is an advantage while competition is thin.
Pattern buys your stock rather than charging to manage it. That covers listings, advertising through Destiny, FBA inbound, brand protection and buy box monitoring under one partnership, with the commercial risk sitting with us. An agency is paid whether the stock sells or not.
TikTok Shop works as a content channel rather than a search channel. Sales come from video, live events and creator affiliates rather than from someone searching for your product, so the work is content production and affiliate management alongside advertising and fulfilment. Pattern is a badged TikTok Marketing Partner and covers all of it.
