On Kashyap's behalf:


Hi,

I am Kashyap Vadapalli, Director – Marketing & Business Development. I invite you to join me for an Open House discussion on eBay Marketing initiatives.

At eBay, the key task for my team is to ensure that we showcase the Lots of Safe, Easy, Deals available on eBay to our buyers. The objective being to drive visitors, convert visitors into buyers and ensure that an ever increasing part of a buyers overall spending is on eBay. Some of the key initiatives that we have made in this direction are:

High impact promotions like Diwali Bonus, Raining Deals to ensure that we are at top of mind with the consumers during key spending seasons.

Special events for Top Buyers in Mumbai & Delhi to strengthen their relation with eBay

Exciting discount coupons to visitors to entice them to try eBay

Launch of Global EasyBuy to give our buyers access to a large pool of international items delivered conveniently at their doorstep

We have also planned a very exciting nationwide campaign to increase the awareness about eBay and generate trial. We expect the campaign to go live in 1st week of December. I will like to share a sneak peak of the campaign with you. In addition to the above I will be also available to discuss your suggestions on eBay Marketing.

Please join me on Wednesday, Dec 2nd from 5 PM - 6 PM, on this thread to know more about the latest eBay marketing campaign, and a open discussion on eBay Marketing.

Looking forward to meeting you here!

Thanks and Regards,
Kashyap Vadapalli
Director – Marketing & Business Development

Hi indconcepts,

If I understand your question right it is about being able to tap into the bulk orders that Corporates might give out from time-2-time, for their employees or consumers. We have not had many such deals and it has not been a specific area of focus for the marketplace business. However I believe that there is opportunity here and we will look into a plan that we can implement with our member-partners at the appropriate time. I think that increasing the awareness around eBay being the place for great-deals and range is the first step in that direction.
Regards,
Kashyap

Hi happy_deals365,

Most of our Community events involving sellers and buyers are fairly inclusive. If there is a PowerSeller meet, we will invite all power sellers.

Most of our events are city based and it is possible that you were missed out becuase your city of recidence is something else.

We are planning multiple user meets across all major cities over the next few months. I hope you will be able to one of these events. If there is an event close to your city, then we will remember to send you an invite!

Regards,
Sapana

Hi vasu_tse,

My Apologies that you did not get an appropriate response to your query. I have noted your issue and have raised it to the team that handles promotions. They will resolve the matter and pass on the details to our CS team with a status on your gift.

Please note that we have been doing large-scale promotions at various times over the last 6 quarters (at least 2 times a quarter). We are seeing increased consumer interest in such promotions and they are growing steadily from one to the other. I believe that we deliver a very high-degree of “value” to the consumer via these promotions and we see a large percentage of repeat and engaged customers coming back to us for each promotion. That said, we want to avoid even 0.01% chance of a customer being less than satisfied due to a promotion related dispatch/receipt issue and we will look into the matter and resolve it.

Regards
Kashyap

Hi mohnish111,

Thanks for positng in. I understand that opening Unpaid item disputes is tiresome for sellers. I have noted your suggestion and will pass it on to the relevant team.

On Free Listing Hour - Given that the listing fee is nominal at Re. 1, do you think it will be a big attraction for sellers? However, please be assured that we will evaluate your suggestion.

Regards
Kashyap
