eBay Strikes Deal with UPS, Offering Sellers Discounted Shipping - Multi Channel Merchant
eBay has struck a deal with UPS to provide its sellers with discounted shipping, after telling them last month it was aware of service delays with primary carrier the U.S. Postal Service. The major marketplace said the discounts would be available to all of its sellers by the end of September.
“We’re always looking for new ways to ensure our sellers have the tools they need to successfully run their businesses on eBay,” said Marnie Levine, the company’s Vice President of Seller Operations and Engagement in a blog post to its seller community. “Customers want and expect to receive their packages in the fastest and most reliable way possible, which is why our collaboration with UPS comes at such a critical moment. eBay is proud to deliver sellers more choice and flexibility when it comes to their shipping, which also benefits our buyers.”
eBay said sellers can get discounts of up to 48% off UPS Ground shipments and up to 62% off daily rates for UPS 2nd Day Air service, including waived or discounted surcharges. The savings are credited automatically when printing UPS labels through eBay.
