Plywood tends to be in very large sheets from a builders merchants or timber yard. Online ordering would probably involve high delivery costs. Your best bet might be to find a local builder or shopfitter who might have offcuts or try on Freecycle or perhaps an ad in a local shop window. Or even go searching around skips near building sites - if you ask no-one usually minds you "rescuing" unwanted stuff.

BTW Try to get Marine Ply - it is better quality & less liable to warp or splinter.

I'd agree with humfry, there usually are places with a lot of scrap wood you could ask for
