    Not sure if this is hoax but I read via Tomshardware that Ebuyer reportedly closing its doors — staff at UK’s second biggest PC retailer sent home early, company sued for liquidation.

    A real shock for myself also, seems Tom’s Hardware reported that Ebuyer’s landlord, Urban Logistics Acquisitions 6 Ltd, filed a winding‑up petition on 1 August 2025 because Ebuyer could not pay its debts and now the Frasers Group has completed a pre‑pack acquisition.

    Frasers Group has a habit of buying distressed retailers cheaply and similar has happened with MatchesFashion, Jack Wills, Game, and others.

    Ebuyer, like many other PC retailers have been struggling a lot after the pandemic.  Amazon continues to gobble up that sector of the market.  Huge shame as I used to buy many of my PC parts from Ebuyer.  It seems like only Amazon will remain standing at the end.
