Hi,
Is it for every item separately?
Say 10 items in a single invoice. Is it 125X10=1250 ?
Or say 10 items in a single invoice costing 10X100=1000 the charge for PsP will be 5% or=125 bucks?
I sell stamps. 10 items may cost 500 bucks or less.
Thanx,
Truly,
Amitava

Even I want to , but 125 Rs extra per piece wont be cost effective for my buyers. Also eBay has cleverly made sellers responsible for following up with any delays in the delivery. So ny delay in pick up or delivery sellers have to run behind a third party with whom seller has no contract. Right now I can pressurize my courier agent because I am giving him business. Once it moves to centralized payment methods we wont have that big say.

I can think of using this, provided some concept like ER is integrated in it. In short cant wait for 15-30 Days for receiving the payment.

Courier companies are not bothered with number of items inside. So you can put 10 different items inside. you will be either charged 125 Rs or 5% of 10 items' value. just correct invoice has to be provided.

eg- you are sending 10 stamps in a parcel each sold for 100 Rs. So you have to pay 5% of 1000 or Rs 125 whichever is more. i.e - 125 .

I was just wondering, if COD can be provided , why not normal shipping in a similar manner.

Instead of paying anything to courier agency, shipping charge can be deducted from paisapay balance. Will save lot of money for small sellers who cannot make contracts with couriers owing to low volume. If eBay has already tied up, I guess its not very difficult to integrate.

Hi linusstudios,
5% includes PaisaPay charges which is 4% of the item cost. We are paying 1% for shipping and money management.
We save a few bucks. Also the sales will do a quantum jump. ER is probably not possible. Unless the PaisaPay gets the money, what it will remit?
I have a doubt abot combined purchases in a single invoice. Biren should clarify that.
SYI form is not yet rectified. Lot of work is left to be done. Only about 3 weeks are left.
Thanx,
Truly,
Amitava

Hi,
when r u launching it , launch it soon i need to buy a phone.Launch it for international resellers also.
thank you

I dont think it includes paisapay charges , because that is the payment gateway and cash handling charge. 5% total wont do for that. as most gateway's charge around 2-3 % themselves.

I am taking it as -

Item Value= Rs 5000
COD Charge= Rs 250

Amount to be transferred to seller= Rs 4800
Paisapay charge= Rs 192

Amount Payable= Rs 4608

[linusstudios]

Sorry For my Calculating mistake

Item Value= Rs 5000
COD Charge= Rs 250

Amount to be transferred to seller= Rs 4750
Paisapay charge= Rs 190

Amount Payable= Rs 4560

@linusstudios

Good News is there is no PaisaPay charges for PaisaPay COD.
Only 5% or 125 whichever is higher. No extra charges.
