Dear eBay Team,
With the latest development, we all are now aware that we can withdraw our money to our bank account after 3rd March and for the same, we need to mention the purpose code. Most of us including me fall in the category - p101 or p104.
Now, I have several questions to this:
1. I use speed post or simple registered airmail to ship my items and my items cost USD 1 to USD 10.00 (max). So how do I proceed from here to ship the single shipments with all the procedures like filing a GR form for all my future shipments?
2. What would be the shipping procedure for a small packet weighing less than 500 grams and value less than USD 10.00? Do I still have to file a GR form if I am selling herbal items, collectibles like coins and stamps, handicraft and tribal jewelry and clothes on eBay?
If yes, then it wouldn't be possible to follow such procedure for 10 items on daily basis where the cost of the each item less than USD 10.00 (including shipping)
Does this mean that selling internationally can only be done if you have large orders and ship in a container?
Does this mean that I have to stop selling internationally?
3. Is the PayPal check a solution to this? PayPal never mentioned that we have to follow the same procedure if we ask a check. So should I forget the electronic withdrawal and stick to the slow process of check if I want to sell the single items on eBay?
4. If my foreign customers pay via PaisaPay for the items listed on ebay.in, then what would that money be considered? Would that also be subjected to FIRC?
5. How will I be charged a FIRC for an item that was sold for USD 3.00 including shipping charge? Say, the item was a tattoo that was shipped in an envelop and shipped via Registered Airmail. So will I have to pay Rs 150.00 for the item worth Rs 145.00?
This means that I will have to stop my business on eBay.
6. Lastly, I have seen many exporters without any export license. They export in small packets and do business through their local contacts. They send through local couriers and receive money via Western Union or check. They don't even know what eBay and PayPal are. How are they able to do business for many years without all these issues? They have shops and they move in expensive cars and file their returns. How do these people do business?
The last question is not important for you to answer. But please Please clarify on the first 5 questions. I am sure every seller on eBay is seeking the answer for the same questions.
Kind Regards,
real.phoenix
