hi ! sapna,
i wish to insrease my international business in gemstones. the international fees i charge is rs 1999.00.this is so because my courier delivers it in 4 days max though i have mentioned in my listings that it will take 7 to 15 days.this also includes the cost of customs and ebay final value fees etc. now i get many querries saying that my charges are high.how can i cut on this i dont know. i see other ebayers giving real low international shipping charges.i dont know how they can give such low charges.they are infact misleading and genuine sellers are the loosers.can you throw some light on this if i am wrong?
thanks n regards

Liebe ebay und paypal Konsumenten:

Warnung vor PAYPAL

Paypal ist eine beinahe kriminelle Organisation, und ist von keinem Staat auf europäischem Festland genehmigt.

Millionen von Kunden wurden bereits von paypal betrogen,
Konten werden willkürlich gesperrt, Gelder abgezogen, Kunden werden von paypal Anwälten belästigt, manche verlieren ihr gesamtes Geld oder sogar die auf paypal aufgebaute Existenz.

Paypals AGB sind willkürlich, voller Stolperfallen, und absichtlich unleserliche 110 Seiten lang.

Es gibt im Netz unzählige anti-paypal Informationsseiten und Foren, in die man sich als möglicher Paypal Kunde vorher unbedingt eingelesen haben sollte.

Der Käuferschutz ist eine gute Werbelüge, aber nichts weiter.
Details zu PayPal gibt es hier gut zusammengefasst nachzulesen:

http://cgi3.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=paypal-hilfe

Weitere Begriffe, mit denen sich Paypal-Kunden vertraut machen sollten:
Zugriff Betrag foren Hilfe Probleme rechtmäßig ? Käuferbeschwerde Käuferschutz Verkäuferschutz ? zensur nopaypal Geld aus betrügerischen Quellen verifizieren telefonrechnung ebay paypal forum deutschland england beschränkt paypal betrug kontosperre rückbuchung illegal konto eingefroren limitiert beträge vorläufig einbehalten Verkäuferschutz ? zensur paypalsucks paypalwarning betrügerische Quellen Die betreffenden Transaktionen wurden von unserem Sicherheitssystem automatisch eingefrohren da es sich um Zahlungen aus Betrugsfällen handelt. Unser System hat die Zahlungen überprüft und unser Verdacht hat sich bestätigt. Rückbuchungsgebühr Rücklastschrift Kreditkartenchargeback mafia CC chargeback Rückbuchung gebühr gebühren vorsicht warnung kriminell illegal beschlagnahmung Geld moneten einfrieren Deutschland Österreich eingestellt bezahlt Frankreich Italien unsicher eingefroren stehlen wegnehmen Käuferschutz Verkäuferschutz Schutz ? Forum Beschwerde Beschwerdeverfahren 180 Tage Käuferbeschwerde Berschwerdeverfahren 25 Euro selbstbehalt standard Käuferschutz Lügen Falschaussagen verwirrende profit Händler
Und das sind nur einige der Wichtigsten.
Vorsicht ist vor den ebay Foren auf ebay.de geboten.
Dort wird extrem zensiert: httq://forums.ebay.de/forum.jspa?forumID=2014

Es gab in den USA schon mehrere Verfahren gegen Paypal.
Paypal zog vor dem Schuldspruch einen Vergleich mit den Klägern vor und zahlte etliche Millionen Dollar aus.
Paypal sieht das aber nicht als Eingeständnis, sondern als Geste.
Klagen in Europa sind besonders schwierig, da sich paypal in England versteckt, wo das Bankensystem noch vorsintflutlich arbeitet. Die dortigen Gesetze haben kaum etwas mit denen der deutschen zu tun.

Ums kurz zu machen: Es gibt gute Alternativen zu paypal wie
Leider darf man bei ebay Foren keine Namen nennen, da das sonst Folgen haben könnte.
Innerhalb Europas kann man sehr schnell und meist gratis mit IBAN und BIC (Swift), den internationalen Bankdaten Geld überweisen. Auch aus der Schweiz!
Auf jedem Fall kann ich jeden mündigen Konsumenten nur ausdrücklich davor warnen, sich bei paypal anzumelden oder damit zu zahlen.
Allein schon aus Solidarität zu den Millionen von betrogenen paypal Kunden.
Oder wollen Sie derartige Firmen durch Ihren Beitrag unterstützen?

Hii,
PLease tell what is the limit for wholesale business on ebay.in When international customer pays even Rs. 10000/- via credit card, paisapay needs photocopies of credit card and even a written aggrement from card holder.. Paisapay considers this amount as HIGH VALUE. You people needs to work on paisapay first. we want to sell internationally via ebay. Is there any way (via ebay/paisapay) we can accept large amount.........not paisapay pleaseeee...... customer dont want to fax copies of credit card.

:-D
H, everybody at the board and specially the e-bay team.

As I hadn been - not only suggesting BUT REQUESTING TOO - the baazee faature - of seller deciding the Bid increment should be irrevocably reinstated . As most of the Sellers experience and report in absence of this the high priced item do not fetch even the cost - of started at Rs. 1/=. Ots a loss NOT only to e-bay but sellers at large . For this reason ONLY , I have stopped all my listings of Digicams , which once was my HIGHEST selling items and for ebay (formerly Baazeew) the HIGHEST selling item.

Kindly reconsider .

Hi All

Research on the eBay marketplace helps sellers list in the right categories, at right prices,and in the right formats which makes them successful.
It has been observed that 77.8% of sellers research most items that they intend to sell (ebay marketplace research survey – Q4-2004)
eBay Completed listings and Active Search listings are the primary vehicles for user research
What Sellers research today
- Pricing
- Formats
- Categories
- Titles, Descriptions
- Pictures
- Listing upgrades

Besides this there are third party tools on http://solutions.ebay.com which provide detailed research on the ebay marketplace.

Amarjit

Dear nair_santosh_in1

Welcome to the workshop!

You may list your products directly on www.ebay.com. Before selling software, you need to ensure that you have rights to sell the software.

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
For details please click on
http://pages.ebay.in/storefronts/seller-landing.html

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

Amarjit

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.

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

Regards
Amarjit

To,

International Business Development DESK

EBAY INDIA TEAM



Well we have been thinking of this since some time now, and I guess it's the right time to FOCUS on this CATEGORY AS WELL....We are talking about the WHOLESALE CATEGORY....



Most of the International Orders that we have got uptill now are from Direct Customers buying for this OWN Usage..But apart form this there are lot of queries for Wholesale as well. Indian markets have huge potential for doing a lots of Wholesale Deals across different Product Categories....



We Would strongly like to suggest some key points here to enhance the Possibilities of Bulk Trades...


1.) Further Sub - Categorization of our Wholesale Category into Main Categories like Apparels, Home and Furnishing, Handicrafts and Artifacts, Marbles, and JEWELRY...the MOST IMPORTANT ONE>....

2.) Secondly we Propose to HIGHLIGHT EBAY INDIA's WHOLESALE CATEGORY on the MAIN EBAY INDIA LANDING PAGE and also run a major promotion on all possible pages, arenas and Scope of EBAY INDIA....

3.) The Top Categories : APPARELS, JEWELRY and HANDICRAFTS etc....can be highlighted here and are GUARANTEED to fetch TOP NOTCH sales for all those who can do wholesale...

4.) To Promote more Listings and Participation from Sellers, you can also RUN the INTERNATIONAL LISTING Fee of Rs.15 and Rs.30 WAIVED OFF for atleast a MONTH so that this category can get the Maximum Response and Quality listings....

5.) The Featured Listing as well as The homepage Listings and Anyother Fees applicable ( accept Final value Fees ) for Dutch Auctions that are applied as per the Quantity in the Auction, should be Waived Off in this Promotion Period.

6.) The earlier Idea on BAAZEE's WHOLESALE Category (Final Value) Transaction percentage was also lowered..I guess it was 3 % , so if possible even this can be thought off by EBAY INDIA...


All above key points can help enhancing the Wholesale International as well as DOMESTIC Deals, and Truly Put INDIA on the WORLD MAP of ECCOMMERCE AS WELL.


Awaiting for your views

Dear Anil9786

The Categories that you are interested to sell are in good demand Internationally you should research the products being successfully sold by sellers.

Do Take a look at the workshop link
http://forums.ebay.in/thread.jspa?threadID=100000806&tstart=0&mod=1114771172412
for more details on how to sell Internationally though eBay.

The key to success is to make your products available Internationally. You can do this by selection to ship worldwide when you create a listing in the 'Sell your Item' Form.
