The online platform said it’s seen a 35% rise in 'self-made millionaires' since online shopping surged in March due to lockdown. London now has 52 eBay millionaires, while Manchester has 36 and Birmingham, 35. Adam Taylor and his wife, Alexandra Taylor, started eBay store Pet Shop Bowl in 2010 after losing both their jobs in the financial crash. Now, it’s on track to turn over £1million by December as more people transition to online shopping. "Our business has gone from strength to strength, particularly in lockdown," the couple said.
