PowerShip Made Mandatory ??? Are other sellers also getting similiar mail??

[virtual_garg]

hi

i got a mail from a person from ebay and also calls from the person that powership has been made mandatory.
he has repeatedly asked me to opt for powership

whereas i donot want to opt for powership since i donot have much sales and most of them are small items for which i pay rs 30 but then i would have to pay Rs40 + 2 +Taxes = ~Rs47

also if a item doesnot go by powership i cannot send by my current courier since my tie up will break with him due to low number of packets and even he wont provide service to me

has anyone else also got the same request from ebay.
why is ebay imposing powership upon its sellers??


can someone form ebay confirm if this is made mandatory all over ebay to all sellers??

Hi,
99% of buyers are foreign buyers in my case and I am sure this Powership Company will make a mess about customs, not to talk of high postage. But what about the threats like? I love ebay. I work to make ebay great. But tell me, can you demand my affection at gun point?
Ebay should learn to be polite as long as I show good result. Do you agree? Do you agree that money is not everything? Isn't ebay a community?
But as it is I do not know how to opt for Powership.
Thanx,
Truly,
Amitava

@Amitavaji, don't bother, powewrship is only for local courier i.e withinn India and not outside India so it is of no use to you.

I can't believe that a world famous company like eBay would adopt these kind of low handed and below the belt practices in India!!! I am going to fight it tooth and nail and if necessary will sue eBay including closing the account!
