Online Workshop with Head of Category Management, eBay India!

[indraneel@ebay.com]

Hello Everyone,

I'm Sharat Digumarti, Head of Category Management, eBay India.

Since the begining of the year me and my team have been working to improve the success of sellers on eBay India through close collaboration. We have made progress in this direction and we continue doing so.

With our endeavour to make sellers business robust, the recent fee changes give tremendous opportunity for every seller to grow their sales on eBay by showcasing more variety, offering great deals which translates to a good buyer experience.

I would be here on the community boards on Tuesday, 15th July, 4 – 5 PM! discuss topics such as how can we work together and assist each of you to grow your business on eBay. I am looking forward for an active participation which would also help me to understand the priorities you all would like us to focus in the remaining part of the year

Dear gifts-mart

Thanks for your posts

As explained in my earlier post the restrictions would not come not because of 1 negative rating, please look at your Detailed Seller Ratings, Open Disputes, Negative and Nuetral in the last 30 days

As you seem to be selling International, we have recently added message on Feedback Page alerting buyer for on international transactions to be keep in mind the additional timelines for deliver before rating the seller

This should help all sellers who are doing international transactions Regards

Hello Sharat,

I would like to mention that selling medium to High value Branded Items has become more difficult due to squeezed margins.

Earlier, OBT was charged less than CC payments and PP was not compulsory .... so Seller always had some benefit as far as FVF was concerned.

Since may months I am not offering any Payment Option other than PP.

The recent Fee changes may not have given any benefit to Non-Tech Sellers .... but atleast there should not have been a Fee Hike for them.

Let the Business grow and then nobody would crib for a percent here or there.

***************************

Only few Sellers would benefit out of Rs.1500 monthly Cap.

Right now I can see only 1,32,000 Listings on site.

The Figure has jumped by only 10,000 since 9th July 2008 .


best regards

Umang Midha

Dear hellohirah

Thanks for your post and suggestion.

We constantly keep adding new categories and based on potential listings we create them. Will have this category evaluated for inclusion

Listing high priced items - please contact and inform customer service on the item and price you are trying to list, this would help us to investigate and fix as appropriate Regards

Dear indconcepts

Thanks for your post

We have made the pricing changes last week and it is too early to make any judgements and come to a conclusion

We are interacting with sellers and taking their feedback.

As mentioned in my earlier post, we will monitor the high value transactions for Non Tech Sellers Regards
