What type of Packing material do you provide. For my soft toys would you provide a box or a cloth?
Do you charge for packing material seperately? If so what are the rates?

[rajelectroniks]

When the powership rates were introduced there was no mention of PARCEL SIZE only weight was a criteria, so now why excessive rates are being charged arbitrarily under the pretext of parcel size please let me know. For a parcel weighing 1.5 kgs I am charged 406/- for what ???????

Dear Sameer Yadav(Ebay),

This is Rahman from Emartbazaar

As per your mail our poweship was scheduled to activate on 18 Jan 13. But today is 23 Jan 13. Our powership is not activated yet and we have received our packing material also. Yesterday we have already sent mail to you regarding this. we did'nt receive any reply from you yet. Please do the needful to activate powership for our ebay account.
We are really disappointed.

Dear ami_soft_toys,

Thanks for the question again. Only transactions flagged for PowerShip can be shipped through the PowerShip program.

Upon activation, PowerShip transactions will appear in Seller "My PaisaPay" account and under “PowerShip Unshipped” section. As a seller you will be able to view the Logistics Service Provider assigned for the transaction and you will also be able to indicate when you are ready to ship the item by either printing a label or clicking on Ready to Ship button.

Basis the Ready to Ship action, you will receive a pickup from the respective Logistics Service Provider who will collect the consignment and connect it to the buyer location / destination.

Regards,

[seemak@ebay.com]

Dear ami_soft_toys,

Within PowerShip if any of our Logistics Service Providers do no service the buyer location, the order is automatically sent to the seller as a non PowerShip transaction.

You can then fulfill the transaction by your own courier solution or option.

Currently there is no option to select transactions that you ship through PowerShip or send it through your own solution. All eligible transactions will automatically be assigned under PowerShip.

Regards

Dear emartbazaar,

Thanks for the question.

We were awaiting for the packing material to be delivered to your pickup address. Since we now have a confirmation that the material is delivered to you, we will go ahead and activate you for PowerShip.

Dear ami_soft_toys,

eBay PowerShip system automatically decides the best possible courier partner based on the item value, courier serviceability (buyer and seller side) and the shipping mode selected during payment.

All courier assignments work towards providing our buyers a faster delivery with lowest cost to sellers.

At the moment, we do not have a feature to support your request to have a courier preference set by you in your eBay account. But we are constantly exploring better options to help make selling on eBay better and faster. We will definitely update you once we have this feature.

Since the concern you have is with respect to price, here is something more to consider which will help you deliver a better experience and increase your business on eBay. With PowerShip you can:

a. Fast delivery of products; 90% of items you ship are delivered within 3 days with next day delivery to the metro cities on the prepaid option.
b. Use of reputed courier companies help gain buyer confidence and satisfaction
c. Standardized packing material for your products, helping you deliver a standardized experience to all your buyers
d. FastShip discount shipping items on the same day or next day of transaction (business day)
e. Piece of mind, items shipped through PowerShip are covered for the complete value of the products
f. Reduce manpower since you do not have to follow up with your Logistics Service Provider for delivery
