I am a new seller on ebay though i registered in bazee, istarted selling on ebay(after migration). But sales are not what i thought to be. I dont know how were the sales in baazee times, but reading from the feedback of the sellers i definately feel there has been a significant reduction in sales. One thing i think ebay should do is have better communication with the sellers. Ebay.com does that very beautifully they are in constant touch with the sellers, posting anouncements on daily basis, They are good in informing the community about the various updates which are coming on the site and the workshops they conduct, they keeep the community informed the steps they are taking to improve the site instead ebay india only posts that we have taken steps to improve traffic on the site. this is quite vague.
If ebay india atleats inform th sellers the steps ebay is taking(i m sure they are trying their best), the seller would have hope and be enthu about the future, and working with hope may make the diffrence for him and for ebay and everyone of us.
Thanx
Regards

Most Dealers would agree with me that the profit(when selling outside ebay) on 1 handset is not more than 100 -200 rs even if it's a high range handset. On ebay we sellers have to give 5% to bay +
3.5% to paisapay+ listing upgrades.
That means for a handset of Rs.10,000(Mrp for the market price) we spend Rs.500(ebay fees) +Rs.350(paisa pay fees)+ additionnal el fees= Rs.900(approx)
Now we dont even get this handset for Rs. 9000. now we have to increase its price lets say to Rs.11,200.
Why would a person buy a handset from ebay for Rs. 11,200 when it is sellingin the market for 10,000.
Thats why see there is no sale for new branded handsets on ebay, The ones which are sold are either second hand or grey market/smuggled/imported by a small dealer sets.
i feel ebay should identify such products and try to brinng the costs involved down. Ebay can start this by a one day promotion, just see by giving a final fees waiver for one day and see the results.

You query on driving more buyers:
As a part of our marketing plan we have 2 marketing promotions planned for the quarter. One of the promotions โTreasure Huntโ has already taken place and one more promotion is coming up in June 2005. The promotion is aimed at increasing buyers on eBay.
We have tied up with leading platform for Affiliate Marketing โ www.cj.com and are in the process of getting world class partners to drive quality users/ buyers on eBay India.

We understand your concern on fake bidders and hence we are in process of starting our 'Buyer Verification Program'. The program is designed to ensure quality buyers and keep the marketplace healthy. In addition we also have the Buyer Management Tools to enable you sellers to chose your buyers and thereby improve your fulfillment.
