eBay Australia have revealed that sellers using the eBay Fulfilment Partner program offering, launched in partnership with Fulfilio – an omni-channel fulfilment provider and business of Australia Post – say their end-to-end fulfilment and delivery times are on average 15% faster, while sellers using this solution are already seeing savings to their bottom line.
Launched in July 2018, eBay say that the eBay Fulfilment Partner program provides eBay sellers with the best price to pick, pack and deliver their eBay orders.
Participating sellers are also seeing increased exposure for their listings and higher placement in eBay search by getting automatic access to eBay velocity programs such as eBay Guaranteed Delivery which can lift sales by 5-7% and eBay Plus which provides sellers access to exclusive deals and retail promotions.
“Since launch, interest in the eBay Fulfilment Partner program has been unprecedented. We developed the program so our sellers could free up time for growing sales and their businesses, while saving money. It’s great to see that just nine months in, the service is doing exactly this and ultimately helping to empower our sellers to compete.”
– Hayat Horma, Head of Shipping, eBay Australia
With a network of 40,000 Australian sellers and more than 11-million Australians visiting the site each month, eBay is able to offer its sellers rates as low as $5.74 for pick, pack and delivery of cross-town service and $6.83 for interstate service – saving up to 30% on costs.
“We’ve seen a 21% reduction in postage costs and as the business no longer needs to pay for fixed additional storage space, we are seeing a 22% saving in storage costs.”
– Alex Bruckhans, online auto parts business Carbitz
Fulfilio recently added a next day delivery service for Sydney and Melbourne, fashion specific customised solutions and tracked letters to its fulfilment solution. Any sellers who are interested in the eBay Fulfilment Partner program can enquire or register by visiting ebay.com.au/fulfilment.
