PowerShip Changes

Hello Seema/Sameer,

We have received the email Anand Shinde on March 26 for signing up for the PowerShip program and we have accepted the T&C and sent an email to Inlogistics@ebay.com on the same day itself.

While we are excited to try out something new, we have a few questions:

1) We primarily deal in lighting products. Hence till date, when we sent our items, we ensured proper packaging to avoid damage in transit as this is the biggest concern in lighting products. It is for the same reason we use Speed Post, TrackOn and Safexpress as they allow special transit for fragile items.

Per what I have read, products in the lighting category are part of the Powership program but from what I understand we have to use your packaging material only. Can you please shed further light on what sort of packaging material is this? Is it just the outer wrapping or something else?

2) We are hoping supply of the packaging material will not be a problem in Hyderabad. In the earlier days when eBay used to provide packaging material to PowerSellers, supply was always erratic.

3) We understand that if we offer PowerShip, we can then automatically start offering Cash-On-Delivery as well on products which we choose up to Rs. 25,000. Is our understanding correct? Also, can you give some stats around eBay COD and rate of returns (buyer chose COD but didn't accept parcel). How are such situations handled?

Thank you.

Dear Sameer,

Thanks for details. I like to know why manual courier choice option is not available if still pin code served under powership as earlier I had mentioned that fedex, bluedart not pickup package without state forms. So in those cases why we not get manual carrier choice option?

Thanks

Hello Seema/Sameer,

Thank you for your reply. We have gone through the link and a couple other links (such as http://pages.ebay.in/help/buy/buyer_COD_process.html) that you have mentioned in your previous post.

1) We understand buyer has to respond to a SMS confirmation and also gets a call from eBay to confirm the COD transaction which is great. If we dispatch an item by COD and the buyer refuses the item, are we still charged the shipping cost? I understand form the link there are no RTO charges, but is the shipping charge charged?

2) Is there any facility to mark items as fragile when using PowerShip (since the items are glass items)?

Thank you.
