Dear baaniya_online,
You are charging to Rs. 1,3 or 4 from regular seller who is selling more items and the new sellers who are selling below then 20 you are being charged nothing.. You want the old sellers to go???
Absolutely not! We value your patronage and will want to retain you at all costs. On your question on no listing charge for sellers up to 20 listings, the idea is to generate trail for eBay. As a marketplace it is critical for us to continue to get more new buyers as well as more new sellers. New sellers bring new products, better pricing and a fresh perspective to the site which further attracts more buyers. This network effects benefits the old sellers as well as the site.
2. On ebay USA and ebay UK, sellers are permiited to porvide theie contact information the listing, Why are we denided the same..
This is an interesting question. There are both merits and demerits of opening up contact information on the site. Internally as well we are debating on the topic and taking opinions from both schools of thoughts. While the policy stands as of now, we shall keep you informaed of changes if any.
3. The fee structure can encourage sellers to create a new id on eBay and can try to save listing fee. Sellers will be able to save money, and might even not pay the final value charges, or the ebay listing charges, once they recive the invoices.
I think a seller who will create new ids just to save fee will be like a person opening a shop in a trade fair with little or no stability. This is a strategy that no genuine seller will adopt if they wish to achieve success in long run. A seller who keeps on opening new ids will not be able to benefit from the feedback that he would have accumulated in his earlier ids. I really donโt think any serious seller will consider this strategy.
4. Why do Sellers have to pay, extra for listing multiple quantity??
The listing fee is charged on the start price. For example, if your product starts at rs 100, you can list 20 quantities of it for re 1 (as long as start price is 2000, you will be charged Re 1 only). However, if the start price is more, the fee is charged accordingly.
5. Ebay makes around 8.5% (5 % final value charges, and 3.5% credit card payment on paisa pay(which is most comman).. Why does not ebay allow the sellers to charge the paisa pay charges from buyers, which can increase our profits.. and we continue to do business on ebay..
We have been having this debate since Baazee days. In my mind, any kind of surprise charge is a bad experience for a buyer and is best avoided. You would have personally experienced the bad taste in mouth if your credit card company charges you extra under conditions apply norm.
6.. When will the option of "immidate payment required" will be available on ebay india..
I think this is a great feature and will help our sellers tremendously. The team is already working on the same, and we expect the same to go live on site by next quarter. We shall keep you updated on the same.
Hope you will answer this ques, so that i can decide, if i should continue with ebay india...
I hope you will find my answers useful, and we will be benefited by your continued patronage.
