Hi Sapna,
I would like to post some suggestions which would not only help Indian Sellers but would also increase international listings from India :-
1)On the gallery page of Ebay.com ( not .in) an Indian listing appears in INR .... now when a buyer browses through say around 2000 listings,he/she searches for REASONABALLY PRICED ITEM.... he looks at cost of same item priced INR 865 say..... 20 u.s.& or 27Au& or 10.8GBP.......... ๐ most of Western buyers DO NOT know that INR is low priced and they DO NOT click on our listings...!!! I REQUEST that if widely recognized currency i.e. u.s.$ is depicted on GALLERY page it would be easy for buyers to COMPARE the prices.
2) PaisaPay icon is not reflected on gallery page of INTERNATIONAL listings when they appear in ebay.com site...This again confuses the international buyers as most buyers are looking for SECURE transactions...AND they ignore our listings from the gallery page itself.... So we loose viewers...Exhibiting PayPay icon on gallery of Ebay.com site can increase sales in dramatic manner.
3) Shipping Calculator : We badly need an international shipping calculator integrated in Ebay.in site ..... I have it in my own Garmentmall.com site.... We just have to mention the maximum-weight of the product while listing it.. Our buyers can automatically calculate the freight of the single or combined shipping to their part of world...!! Ebay can make this simple calculator based on weight & 5 common World Shipping Zones ...The sellers can input their own desired data e.g. For Zone I - u.s.19 for 1st 500 grams & u.s.$7 for every additional 500 grams... For Zone II - u.s.21 for 1st 500 grams and u.s.$ 7.5 for additional 500 grams.... and so on...... AFTER that the sellers can input the desired countries in the zones...say country A, B, C, D, in Zone I, Country E, F G H in Zone II.....and so on.
Believe me that this sort of Pre-Handed information to buyer will increase sales.... I DO NOT remember a single international sale I have made on Ebay where the buyer NEVER asked me question about shipping...... Many buyers would never ask a question EVEN if they liked the item...Because most human are LAZY like me..:)
