Other Payment Methods than Paisa Pay Are Blocked By eBay

[rhtdm.6624]

Dear Sellers,

Today I have received one email from eBay. I am shocked after reading it. Below is mail text.....

Dear Member,

In order to keep eBay Marketplace safe for our Buyer & Seller community,
we regularly review Buyers & Sellers activity on site. Your past selling
trend indicates that most Buyers who have purchased products listed on
eBay.in using a non PaisaPay payment method (i.e. Cheque, Demand draft ,
Cash on Delivery etc) do not end up paying you for their purchase. This
is resulting in your item ending sooner than they should have & also
results in you wasting your time & resources in filing a UPI against the
Buyer.

In order to help you grow your business on eBay.in, eBay has restricted
the payments methods which can be offered to your buyers. Henceforth you
will be able to only offer PaisaPay as payment method to your buyers.
You will not be able to list your item if you select any other payment
method in addition to PaisaPay. This restriction will be active for a
period of 45 days from the day it is placed on your account. Post the
time we will review and discuss with you for changes if required.

This will benefit your business on eBay.in in the following ways
•Your listing will not end prematurely due to purchases made by
frivolous buyers
•Only Buyers having the willingness to pay will be able to purchase the
products you have listed
•You need not waste your time & energies in filing UPI

Hope to see your business growing on eBay.in

Regards
eBay India

From one end they are saying report UP cases and after reporting it they are doing this thing. That means they not want to take actions against buyer. They want only sellers fault to take action. I think eBay is become like Sellers sarkar jo wo kahenge only that is true. Also that only seller has to follow if he want to sell. I hope the same email has sent to many sellers. 40% buyers wont have credit card to make there purchases and if eBay blocks other payments then I dont think so that buyer will visit eBay again. If I am wrong please let me know.

Dear rhtdm.6624,

I think there are some structural changes happening at eBay India. Over the past 12-18 months there has been lot of competition from other Online Portals (some new some old). I believe ebay's costs have also gone up with all the media advertising & they are now trying to improve their financial records by maximizing their fee earning opportunities.

During the re-structuring there would some change that will be good & some not so good. (hoping good out weighs bad 😉 )

eBay is slowly realizing that India is a different market & they cannot copy whatever happens on eBay USA. I am sure there is a competent think tank at ebay which will take some good decisions. (have my fingers crossed)

Regards
Manish

No portal will ever be able to match ebay for hobby items. I must say ebay is a generous giver in this.
