Dear Sapana ji ,

We have gone through the threads of
International Selling Board to find out about the legality
of Paypal in India to get the payment of International
sales made through ebay.com / ebay.in .

But it is not clear because there are
contradictory views on the Board .

Please clarify and oblige .

Hi All

I am Amarjit and my primary focus is to grow the International trading at eBay India. It is quite exciting to see many of our sellers become true global businesses and International buyers sourcing items directly from India. The session today aims at creating an interactive discussion to share tips that will help sellers succeed in selling to the International Buyers.

Dear Anmol_Kreations

Thanks for your feedback. We are also quite keen to develop wholesale exports and will definitely look into your suggestions.

We plan to create wholesale lots as a sub category under each of our main categories and will map these with the relevant categories in the ebay.com. So if a seller lists under these categories on eBay.in and selects International Shipping option, the listings will appear in the default search on eBay.com

If you want to start selling right away, then you can list under the whole sale lots on www.ebay.com/wholesale

Few Tips on selling wholesale


Designing your lots
-Size lots to appeal to small resellers or consumers
-Typical lot prices are Rs. 5000 – Rs. 65000
-Unit counts vary by category
-Buyers look for Volume discounts and a low starting price

Include lot, bulk, resale, wholesale, pallet or other keywords in your listing title

Include number of items in your title. eg. Lot of 100 Sarees

Dear 2005Soumitra

Re. your question - 'Is there any seperate listing for international market. Iam interested to export handicraft jewellery.What is the shipping procedure.Is it require to list for bulk items'


There are two ways to list products to target International Buyers.
1)List on ebay.in and select International Shipping as an option
2)Directly list on eBay.com or other International sites

Re. Shipping, one can ship both single item as well as bulk. It will be useful to speak to a courier company and they will guide you through the shipping process.

Hi All
I am looking forward to more questions from you. meanwhile let me share some tips on how you can grow your sales.

Those sellers who own a Shop on eBay India should:
1)Promote your shop and shop inventory in every one of you listings
2)Cross- Promotion – actively manage your cross promotion rules
3)Natural Search- Include search keywords in your store name, Description and Categories
4)Encourage buyers to opt into your mailing lists- sellers that send their shop newsletter see a spike in traffic and sales

Shops are a good tool to drive buyers to your own page and also useful for repeat sales.
