Important Changes To Ebay Malaysia [September 2009]

September is here already and as announced a couple of months ago, eBay will be rolling out changes that would affect both Malaysian eBayers who sell internationally and Malaysian eBayers who sell domestically on eBay Malaysia only. For the sake of this post, let me just focus on the changes that would impact Malaysian eBayers that sell on eBay Malaysia exclusively.

First up, let me just say that I believe that whatever changes that eBay has in store for us is meant to make our buying and selling experience better. Changes are supposed to bring improvements, after all.

The following are changes that will impact domestic eBay Malaysia users:

1. Increased visibility of Store listings and introduction of new store packages
* More search results options available for buyers and changes.
* Increased exposure for Store listings (or SIF listings) in the main eBay search results.
* Enhancements to Best Match, enabling a good mix of relevant fixed price and auction listings.
* Introduction of new Store packages with free insertion fees and free subscription to Selling Manager Pro.

2. Improved service standards
* Changes to the PowerSeller programme.
* Optional buyer shipping insurance will no longer be allowed.

3. Easier & more profitable selling on eBay
* Streamlined My Messages and post-transaction emails for improved buyer communication.
* More control over international ship-to locations.
* Faster ways to edit bulk listings, even multi-quantity listings with a sale and listing descriptions.
