SELLING ON EBAY.IN REG

[cameracameras]

DEAR ALL,

WE WISH TO INFORM YOUR GOODSELVES THAT WE ARE THE AUTHORIZED IMPORTERS,DISTRIBUTORS AND SERVICE AGENTS FOR OLYMPUS RANGE OF PRODUCTS LIKE DIGITAL CAMERAS, DIGITAL VOICE RECORDERS, BINOCULARS, UNIROSS RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES AND CHARGERS, SIGMA DSLR'S AND DIGITAL LENSES IN SOUTH INDIA.

WE HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AT BAAZEE.COM DURING 2002-2004. DUE TO UNKNOWN REASONS WE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED. FROM THERE ON TILL DATE WE TRIED OUR LEVEL BEST TO GET OUR CAMERACAMERA_IN1 ACCOUNT ACTIVATED, BUT ALL IN VAIN.

HENCE WE HAD REGISTERED AGAIN AS CAMERACAMERAS, NOW I CAME TO KNOW THAT EBAY.IN IS CHARGING ONLY 1% AS FEE AGAINST 6% AT BAAZEE (CAMERA AND OPTICS).

NOW I SEE SEVERAL SELLERS LISTING THEIR ITEMS BY MENTIONING VAT 12.%% (I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THEY ARE PAYING IT)

KINDLY ADVICE WHETHER THE RIGHT TIME HAS COME TO SELL THROUGH EBAY.IN

@cameracameras
Ebay does not check sellers whether sellers actually pay VAT/CST (that they collect from the buyers) to Govt of India. Sellers here have learnt art of overcharging VAT/CST gracefully and efficiently. Sellers here proudly mention the overcharged VAT rates in the title and descriptions too..
Also some sellers have gone out of way to also mention paisapay tax@12.5% & online payment tax @ 8% and so on..

So dont be surprised that you will have competition from fake and grey market sellers also.

HI,

THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS HOW TO OVER COME THESE GREY MARKET SELLERS. IN 2002 WHEN WE WERE LISTING IN CAMERACAMERA @ BAAZEE THERE WAS HARDLY 10 - 20% GREY MARKET SELLERS.NOW I FEEL LIKE IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND AUTHORIZED RESELLERS/DISTRIBUTORS/DEALERS SELLING THEIR ITEMS AT EBAY.
