[sapana@ebay.com]

Dear Users,

At eBay, our sellers have acess to a huge buyer base of 203 million registered users spanning across 150 countries. This opens a wonderful opportunity of international selling for our sellers. Many sellers from India have already tapped into this opportunity and started selling globally.

We are sure that you will be keen to know more about this opportunity and have a lot of queries regarding this. To help answer them, we have Amarjit from International Selling Team who will help you by answering your questions on what all to look out for when you want to start you international business.

If you have any questions related to international shipping, check out the Online workshop where DHL answered various questions on International Shipping.

To find answers to your questions, or to just say a hello, drop in this Open House discussion on 6th October, 4 -5 PM

See you on 6th!

Warm Regards
Sapana

Hello!

We are a Power Seller in Ebay and selling our Jewellery Products globally. We face a lot of difficulty when we have to accept payment through PaisaPay. Almost all International buyers are used to PayPal method of Payment verification. Whereas in PaisaPay, buyer has to send Xerox Copy of Credit Card by fax if the amount is more than Rs 7500/-, whereas no such system is there, so far as we know because, we are accepting payment through PayPal regularly and instantly. Though we want to accept payment through PaisaPay for faster completion, but to avoid very cumbersome verification process, we have to accept through PayPal.
I would request you to make the verification process of PaisaPay exactly the same as prevailing in PayPal.

dear sir,
as per RBI rules(i have consulted RBI officials) if a product is exported, the price should be received in foreign exchange from the country of destination. it cannot be received in indian rupees.(there may be some basic exemption limt about which i am not sure)
paisapay issues cheques in Rs. for payments received from foreign buyers for products exported. is that legal?
the same problem seems to be there with paypal.
kindly clarify.
regards

dear sir,
1)can i offer paisapay as a payment option on ebay.com?
2)what is the procedure a foreign buyer has to follow if the amount payable is less than Rs.7500/- on paisapay ? is it similar to paypal? doesnt he have to fax credit card details?
thanx

Dear Mr. Amarjeet , You are requested to include a page in ebay.in site which should clearly provide all the necessary information required for sellers in India for exporting their products on eBay. Information should include the necessary registrations required ,documents to be included with exports shipments ,legal methods of accepting payments for goods to be exported and best possible options for shipping their products economically .


You are also requested to automatically include items listed by sellers in India for international listings in your India Exports Bazar section. There is no clear information available how to list items in India exports Bazar section.

I believe eBay can become a very good plateform for small exporters in India to introduce their products globally .

Also look into possibilties of providing ebay services to many other countries of Africa and Middle East not yet supported by your system.

Thanks

Hello All

I am really happy to participate in this Open House and interact with all of you on the topic ‘International Selling - Know what's important for new seller’

First of all let me quickly take you through a brief tutorial on Selling Internationally on eBay.

Why sell internationally? It’s a question a lot of you might have and I have heard it from many sellers. The answer is simple: because there are millions of honest international buyers who are eager to trade with Indian sellers!

Thanks
Amar

Hundreds of eBay sellers in India and thousands of Sellers worldwide have discovered the almost unlimited potential of the international market. Still, many new and experienced sellers refuse to open up their businesses to buyers from around the world. These same eBay sellers may find their businesses slowing or stagnating as their competition eagerly rush into the international market.

We will break international selling down into six sub topics
• Listing Items
• Communicating with Buyers
• Receiving Payment
• Shipping Internationally
• Customs
• Managing Risk
• Insurance

Thanks
Amar
