Suggestion: PLEASE READ BAAZEE: Surcharge on Credit Card/OBT

[pc_gaming_store]

Baazee Says:

Surcharge on Credit Card/Online Bank Transfer can not be passed to the buyer

Sellers will not be able to pass on the 4% surcharge on Credit card and 2% surcharge on Online Bank Transfer charged by PaisaPay, to buyers. Buyers have pointed out that it is a bad buyer experience, as they perceive it as a hidden charge, which is not known at the time of bidding or buying the item.

Predicament:
Now Baazee says that this method is being inducted as buyers feel cheated. Now first point it is unfair to make the sellers bear the brunt of 2% and 4% service cahrge which is in no way cheap as we already pay Baazee 5% fees. Also PayPal charges much less. However Baazee may have a point that the surchage may be hiiden from the buyers and hence they feel cheated. So instead of arguing the very very simple solution is:

SOLUTION:
We have in Baazee the payment options section that is the different methods of payment the seller offers. So Baazee adds there a note that a service charge may be applicable when buying the product. So Baazee can have a fixed 2% and 4% Service Charge. If the seller charges it it is mentioned in the Payment Methods options on the right side of paisapay. If he does not charge service charge then nothing is mentioned and all is well and good. Also Baazee can also add a note that buyer may reconfirm with seller regarding service charge by asking in the Q&A section so the sellers answer comes on official records. This measure is in case of auctions so that a seller cannot manupilate the system by offering no service charge and then changing his payment preferences. Also the system can be changed such that a payment preference for a listing cannot be changes if a bid or purchase has been done, but I feel that this may not be necessary as the top ideas are relatively foolproof.

I feel that is the best method to adopt so that all three parties are satisfied Baazee, Buyer, Seller.

I PLEAD TO THE SELLERS TO LEAVE THEIR OPINION ON THIS SUGGRSTION SO THAT WE ARE NOT AT A LOSS. BAAZEE PLEASE READ AND CONSIDER THIS. CONSIDER!!!!!!!!! THAT IS THE MAIN POINT. NOT JUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!

with regards

Steps To Distruction:
1. Reducing auto-listing from 5 to 2
2. Making 48 hrs fraud listing drama.( even in editing that means if you are already live and you need to make changes then wait for more 2 days to see it live and if the end date is the next day forget the special listing fees)
3. Removing auto -listing
4. Making multiple listing questionable.
5. Special listing fees increased by 400 % ( 25/35 for priority lisitng to 100rs)
and Most unimaginable Sellers to bear the surcharge.
Now if we icrease that charge in our product price then the buyers buying through dd/cheque payment will be at total loss.
Someone please explain to baazee that this is India.
Here people still think 100 times before buying the products and if they sense that product is available at the same rate in market why will they buy from your site???
Also the buyers buying through creditcard do pay the surcharge in any shop while purchase so why feel cheated?
infact with the rules been forced every week we sellers feel completely cheated.

Paisapay Charges needs to be optional to the seller... i.e whether he should bear or the buyer should be made to bear... like how it was before.

Buyer calling it as hidden charge is a HUMBUG. If he has eyes, he should read the total charge before paying it. Otherwise he should not buy. If sellers are made to bear the charge forcefully, Baazee is punishing the sellers for the buyer's action. Using credit card or bank transfer is buyer's convenience, and they should pay for it. At least the sellers should be given choice either to make their buyers pay or pay it themselves. Baazee is very high handed - not at all good for your business.

In a perfect world, the buyer should not be charged for credit card / obt usage. However we are not living in a perfect world - we live in India.



4% is too much to build in our pricing, esp. for high value electronic products where our margins are in the range of 3% - 5%.



Ideally this rule should have been brought after the PaisaPay rates are brought to to PayPal rates of 1.9%. It's possible to built in a charge of 2% but not 4%.



When we signed up for PaisaPay (we were one of the first 5 sellers to whom PaisaPay was offered on an experimental basis), we were told that PaisaPay charges will come down when more sellers come in and the business volume has grow.

We beleive the volume has grown substantially, infact it would be crorer of rupees every month. With these kind of volumes it is feasible to bring down the charges to 2 - 2.5%. We beleive ICICI bank is only charging PaisaPay 1.5% to 2.0%. PaisaPay is keeping the rest as chargeback proection and operating costs, which frankly is too high.

Today the offline world is working at Credit Card usage charges of 1.5% to 2%. IF we pay double of this, how are we to be competitive?

Another point is that it is unnecessary for PaisaPay to keep the seller's money for 15 days. Money should be transferred to the sellers account on a real time basis. PayPal transfers the money instantly to the seller's account which can be withdrawn anytime. Even CC avenue pays it merchants every 7 days. Why do we have to suffer a 21 days cycle???.

PaisaPay and Baazee, please urgently bring down the CC usage charges to reasonable limits and than no seller will have any objection to built them in their pricing.
