Unveils `eBay Choices’ to offer New, Refurbished and Used products
Hyderabad, August 13, 2015: eBay India, the online marketplace with over 30 million product listings, has further strengthened its product offering through ‘eBay Choices.’ Consumers will now be able to log onto www.ebay.in and choose from a variety of New, Refurbished and Used products available on eBay India.
eBay India has tied up with top organized refurbishers of India to meet the growing demand of shoppers for variety and product availability at various price points. As part of eBay Choices, there will be over 1000 live listings of refurbished mobile phones, laptops and tablets. Over a period of time, other refurbished items like TV, Refrigerators and white goods will be added on the platform.
E-commerce in India has seen a significant upsurge in the number of people shopping online and it is expected that by 2016, there will be over 100 million buyers in India. eBay Choices will enable refurbishers to reach online shoppers across 4556 ecommerce hubs in India, many of whom, may not have been accessible, due to constraints of physical presence by organized refurbishers.
Mr. Latif Nathani, Vice President &Managing Director, eBay India said, “Offering buyers unlimited variety at various price points has been the core proposition of eBay globally for nearly 20 years. Through eBay Choices, we will now offer the Indian consumer a similar proposition and an opportunity to buy the same product at different price points i.e. New, Refurbished or Used.”
“We not only aim to increase the offering of refurbished goods on our platform but also build trust and awareness around the segment by offering products from Certified Refurbished Partners only,” added Mr Nathani.
eBayIndia will ensure that all refurbished products being listed on the platform have been scanned for defects and functioning issues before being retailed. Besides the refurbished products will also be certified and tested before being listed.The refurbishers will also assistbuyers in providing three, six or twelve month’s manufacturer / seller warranty, during which a buyer can reach to the certified partner’s service centres across India.
Currently of the total live listing in Mobile Phones, Laptops and Tablets category, 90% is new and 10% refurbished / used. Over the next one year, the platform will not only see 20% increase in total listings in these categories, but also see a change in the mix: 80% new and 20% refurbished / used.
eBay Choices is a reiteration of eBay India’s commitment of providing shoppers with a trusted platform that will offer best range, variety and deals to choose from.
