This is Sandeep Gondekar again from eBay India’s Product Management Team. I am pleased to announce that the following changes are now live on the site

Here is a quick recap on the new features that will help us make eBay more convenient and easy for you:

For Buyers

Introducing Shopping Cart for a complete shopping experience: Shop till you drop with the new Shopping cart! Just add items to your Shopping Cart and buy your items at one go later! Simple, isn’t it? To use the Shopping cart, follow the simple steps below:
1. Add an item by clicking the Add to Shopping Cart button on the View Item Page
2. Once you have finished your shopping, click the “My Shopping Cart” link on left navigation bar in My eBay.
3. Pay via PaisaPay for all the items added from one seller.

Note: The Shopping cart feature shall be available for all ‘Buy it Now’ items offering PaisaPay mode of payment. You can only pay for the items in your Shopping Cart by PaisaPay mode of payment. Click here to view the new Shopping cart page. The link to Shopping Cart on the eBay header will be soon available.

Fast Checkout for ‘Buy it Now’ Listings: For all our buyers who buy from Buy It Now listings, shopping on eBay will now be an easy 1-2-3 process. All you will need to do is:
1. Click on the Buy it Now button (on the View item page)
2. Provide your payment and shipping details.
3. Commit the order and make the payment

Locate Seller Contact Information easily: You have told us in the past that as a buyer it is not easy for you to locate your seller’s contact information. Going forward, for all the ‘Buy it Now’ and ‘Shopping Cart’ purchases, the order confirmation page, after you commit the order and make the payment, shall give you entire contact details of the seller. The same shall also be emailed to you for your records.

For Sellers:

Immediate Payment required with PaisaPay: As a seller, if you are offering only PaisaPay payment method on your ‘Buy it Now’ listings, the listing will close only after the buyer has made the payment via PaisaPay.

Shipping Validation based on buyer Pin Code: Going forward the shipping charges for a buyer will be calculated based on the seller and buyer pin codes (instead of city). If the buyer and seller pin codes are from same city the buyer will be considered a local buyer and will be charged local shipping charges. Similar logic will apply to national buyers as well. In case the buyer pin code is not available in the database, he shall be considered a national buyer.

I hope you will find the above changes exciting and the changes will make eBay an easy and fun shopping destination for you. If you have any queries on the new feature, please feel free to post on the discussion board thread. You can also get in touch with our Customer Service resources to get help on your questions.
