Launch of PowerShip – an eBay facilitated shipping service

Dear Members,

We are very excited to announce the launch of PowerShip – an eBay facilitated shipping service to enhance your experience on eBay India.

For our Sellers, PowerShip will significantly enhance the efficiency of managing multiple item shipments and delivery of items to your buyers. We’ve engaged with reputed logistic service providers such as FedEx, BlueDart, DTDC and Aramex for this initiative and what you have in store is attractive rates, item pick-ups from your doorstep, automated tracking of shipments, faster item deliveries by Logistic Service Providers and coverage for the shipment from eBay India. The seamless solution will let you develop and grow your core eBay business by sourcing more efficiently and serving buyer needs better. Essentially, greater peace of mind and ease of managing business!

PowerShip will include Air mode, enabling quicker delivery of items to Buyers, Surface mode to manage volumetric and large size shipments and Cash On Delivery enabled through BlueDart in addition to Aramex for buyers who wish to pay for items on delivery. PowerShip sellers can avail special courier rates and ship to over 10,000 plus locations across 2500 cities and towns in India.

Ensuring quick shipment & delivery of items is a critical factor in driving a great Buyer experience. So, every time you dispatch the item within a single day of order confirmation (pick-up time as per Logistics Service Provider’s confirmation), you will receive a special FastShip discount of 0.5% on your PaisaPay fees, which translates into a discount of up to 11% on the PaisaPay fees. In addition to this, you will also receive 5 Star DSR Ratings on “Shipping Timelines” for all such orders shipped within a single day from the date of order confirmation! This will result in shorter delivery timelines, enabling you to build a loyal customer base and increase your business on eBay.

5 star DSRs on Shipping Cost for listings where the Buyer checks out with Free shipping [if offered] continues.

All of this would ensure that Buyers, will consistently experience a high quality service from you for their purchases along with the benefits of tracking shipments in a transparent fashion, resulting in a delightful shopping experience on eBay.

What else is changing…

With the launch of PowerShip, ‘My PaisaPay’ is undergoing a makeover. The new interface has been designed taking into account your feedback on being more user-friendly and efficient. It will enable quick access to information onyour transactions, tracking status, shipping related documents and remittances.

Some of the new features:

•Quick view and access to your unshipped, shipped and cancelled transactions on the left side of the page in ‘Bought with PaisaPay’ & ‘Sold with PaisaPay’ section
•Additional filters to sort orders by PaisaPay ID, Buyer ID, Item ID, Order Date and Courier under the activity tabs.
•Prefilled & preformatted information of your Shipping Label, Manifest, Order Statement and Shipping Declaration made available for print at a click of a button. No more manual formatting in MS Excel/MSWord!
•New ‘Shipping Preferences’ tab to set preferences tocombine/ separate ’Ready To Ship‘ and printing actions,along withpreference of‘State exclusions’ for item deliveries [enabling you to configure the States & Union Territories to which you are ready to ship to]. You asked for it, we have now built it for you!
•Simplified Shipping service combinations for PaisaPay covering Local, National, Flat Rate and Surface. Apart from this ‘Cash on Delivery’ and ‘Buyer Picks up and pays’ can be used with any of the above combinations.

Hi,
No doubt the service will be good but the charges are high.

Many LP'S has a slot for Docs and 250 gm parcels.

Your rate card does not have that.

Secondly i believe most sellers do weight adjustments with their respective LP'S, that means a 600 gm parcel can be booked in 500gm slot easily.

This wont happen here.

The third dis advantage is that their are lot of formalities that needs to be done like shipping declaration, 3 copies of invoice and paisa pay invoice plus VAT PAID bill for some sellers.

Apart from this everything is good.

Hoping all goes smooth..
well 2 important queries.
1) Like it said 0.5% discount will be given on Paisapay fees for same day shipment but as from my experience from PaisaPay COD shipments LP never books the shipments same day of pickup. If we hand over the shipment today Booking is done after 24 hours of pickup hence how will ebay consider the discount?

2) Once the label are printed in PowerShip will Awaiting Shipment in Selling Manger Pro gets Blank??
If yes it will be a hard time packing 100 shipments a day without any thumbnail image of the product.

Please clarify before we opt for PowerShip.

Hi

Blue Dart/Fedex don't accept parcels without sales tax forms for UP , West bengal etc.. what happens in this case.

Also 250 gms slot is must.. with ebays volume it can easily negotiate with LSPs and include it.
