The world’s largest online auction site eBay has opened its platform for Russian merchants. Finally! The fact that the autumn will launch the sale of goods Russian online stores on its site, our program last summer said the head of an internet auction in Russia Vladimir Dolgov.
So far, eBay in our country has focused on cross-border trade: summer eBay agreed with “Mail of Russia” on the accelerated delivery of purchases from China to Russia. In early 2014, the company took about 90 000 orders from Russian customers per day. Now the service will also Russian sellers. However, while the products of our local retailers will only be available to Russian buyers.
It is surprising here is that eBay – originally auction – online bazaar or fair, created especially for the ordinary people, individuals who could on it to sell a used or new goods desired. In Russian presented at this week’s version of an online auction individuals to sell their goods in general can not, such a privilege awarded only major players – companies such as X5 Retail Group, shop power tools “220 volt”, Wikimart.
“In Russia, however, why we start with the big players? Because it’s the big companies that have their own units that are engaged in the development, which can be fast enough to reach the bridge between his store and eBay, – says Director General of the Russian office of eBay Vladimir Dolgov. – After some time for companies to small businesses, we develop and offer software tools that will allow them to do it. privateers And why not? Here, in general, the question is quite difficult. And it is associated primarily with taxation, because we still do not understand who, how and how should these transactions to pay taxes “.
Vladimir Dolgov has assured us that this is only the first step. A little later, the Russian merchants, including privateers, certainly will be able to sell the old clock, samovars and earflaps to foreign buyers. A little later – when the Russian office will understand how to work with foreign exchange controls, and other complexities of international trade. Another problematic place for domestic customers – this promotion. But here, eBay goes to meet a new audience.
“We show Russian goods sellers in search results, – says Vladimir Dolgov. – When you come on eBay, you have amassed a certain search query, you come to the page with goods that are subject to this request. It is clear that the issuance of this page depends on the amount of positive feedback that customers give as a result of the purchase. clear that those sellers who have just come here and start from scratch, this rating is absolutely zero . an opportunity to show on the first page no. Actually there. We changed the algorithm hits the goods on the first page, and to foreign offers sellers Shunt products from Russian sellers. A further sorting on price and delivery, they come out on top. ”
Also for Russian users online auction arranged the whole fair generosity, giving an indefinite period to take a percentage of sales for transaction. In general, it seems eBay strongly caved in under Russian realities. For example, one unique to the online auction service that is unparalleled anywhere in the world – it is an opportunity to pay for goods in cash.
It’s amazing how the head office decided to go against their rules only work via PayPal . But, probably, when entering the Russian market, eBay, and take into account the specifics of users. Not everyone is ready to give money over the Internet, has provided opportunity for cash payment. However, it will have to come to the office Seller – get some sort of ex-booked on the service product.
