Back in November we told you about eBay’s partnership with Japan Post to assist Japanese customer who wanted to sell items using the popular auction service. And today we’re hearing that eBay has launched a service in collaboration with SingPost and the United States Postal Service to help sellers in Singapore reach US buyers.
It’s called ePAC, eBay’s APAC shipping tool, and it helps sellers take orders, print labels and track shipments using their eBay account. Oliver Hua, eBay Marketplaces’ COO for Greater China, Southeast Asia, and Japan, explained further:
Singapore sellers on eBay are highly regarded for combining good quality products at great value. This is primarily why this market has the second largest sales in Southeast Asia after Thailand.
In addition to Japan Post and now SingPost, eBay has previously partnered with China Post as well, and that service is processing 90,000 parcels a day according to eBay.
It’s logical to think that eBay intends to continue these postal partnerships around Asia, and we’ve reached out to find out more about possible future tie-ups in the region. Stay tuned!
