What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
eBay (UK) Ltd. as standard, pays all its suppliers and distributors no later than the last day of the month following the month in which the relevant undisputed invoice is received by eBay (UK) Ltd. i.e. between 00 and 31 days from receipt. Variations to these standard payment terms are by exception only and only applied when negotiated and agreed by both parties.
Dispute resolution
Typically the supplier will coordinate with the PO requester and they will negotiate any disputes directly for low value dollar contracts (<250k). Other than that there is no exclusive dispute resolution process; the process may vary on the type of contract and the location where the service is provided

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
