Re: eBay! Sellers! Voice! Concerns! About! eBay Express!
Quote:As it is, over 95% of current US sellers on eBay already choose to accept unconfirmed addresses, which hopefully helps show that the majority of sellers have decided that the business gain of accepting these payments has outweighed the risk. AND Quote:On eBay, the vast majority of transactions are made with buyers with confirmed addresses. That said, there will probably be some small number of buyers using unconfirmed addresses. ![]() Well if 95% of sellers accept "unconfirmed addresses" and sell to buyers, even if thier address is unconfirmed. How is it that "vast majority" of transactions are made with buyers with confirmed addresses? More double SPEAK from the minions at feebay me thinks. You know I what I find amusing? The PP cheerleaders have been pushing the SPP for over two years now and in one fail swoop... Bill and the new "eBay Express" team have null and void all their efforts. SPP BPP? You don't need any STINKING PPP. PayPal will of course "work" with you to fight chargebacks. ![]()

Re: eBay! Sellers! Voice! Concerns! About! eBay Express!
This does create new possibilities.
It will be a new way to search Ebay with only stores and fixed price items listed. When the publicity hits could be big-time exposure for store listings. - How many fixed price listings are there? - not a lot. Are auctions with BIN to be listed? I read somewhere they are not included, but that is not confirmed. So mostly store listings will be what they are offering??? Sounds too good to be true. Anybody notice that store listings will now show at the end of ALL searches? (at the end, yes, true)

Quote:Only with the potential to REALLY mess with the core workings *using that term loosely* of the dot com site. I think it will result in fewer bids on many items and less traffic to eBay Stores. The introduction of eBay Express and ProStores aren't exactly ringing endorsements by eBay of its eBay Stores platform. [/quote] Exactly. |

Re: eBay! Sellers! Voice! Concerns! About! eBay Express!
Quote:Are auctions with BIN to be listed? No, because they're still auctions despite the BIN price. Only fixed-price format and store inventory items will be included. Quote:2. same fire sale prices as ebay The average selling prices on Express will be the same as on eBay.com since Express is just a duplication of eBay's fixed price format/eBay Stores listings. If you sell in a category on eBay that is dominated by sellers dumping items at below wholesale prices you'll still be in the same situation on Express. This will be a huge negative for many sellers. Quote:PayPal only A huge negative over regular eBay.com listings for both sellers with merchant accounts and for sellers who only accept checks/money orders and don't accept PayPal (and there are a lot of them) Another question that has yet to be answered is how PayPal will treat multiple item purchases . Say a buyer checks out and pays for a purchase with a shopping cart that includes 4 items: 1 from Seller A, 1 from Seller B, and 2 items from YOU. Will PayPal treat the 2 items from you as 1 transaction or will they be itemized separately and treated as 2 transactions on your PayPal account? If it is treated as 2 separate transactions you'll pay more in PayPal fees.

Re: eBay! Sellers! Voice! Concerns! About! eBay Express!
Ah, an eBay Pink post answered my question in one of her posts on eBay's SellerCentral board. Sellers do in fact get hit with separate PayPal fees for each item and PayPal stands to make a windfall *quick someone hand me the eBay sh!t smilie*
Quote:If buyers can pay for multiple items in one transaction, how will merchants get paid?

Re: eBay! Sellers! Voice! Concerns! About! eBay Express!
More "Pink" confirmation that each item is treated as a separate transaction (and subject to the minimum PayPal fee amounts for each transaction):
Quote:eBay Express charges a buyers PayPal account or credit card once for each item in their shopping cart. Sellers get a separate notice and payment for each item, even though a buyer may be buying five items from them at once. This also means that if a buyer purchases 5 items from you and you ship them together in 1 box you will not be covered by PayPal's seller protection policy.

[/quote] Heck you won't be covered anyway if you ship to an unconfirmed address. ![]() But, an extra 30 cents an item for combined transactions. That should add up to a nice chunk of change for mother eBay. Not my change, because I am fairly certain I am going to have to sit out this whole little Express experiment . . . . |

Re: eBay! Sellers! Voice! Concerns! About! eBay Express!
Another pink just contradicted the other 2 pink responses and said payments will be per seller and not per item. The question is which pink response is right.
Quote:Let me clarify how the payments work. It's more accurate to say that on eBay Express, one payment is processed per seller, with rare exceptions. |
