Ebay Express

Hi! Everybody.

Here is some fantastic news eBay unofficially rolled out its new eBay Express marketplace in preview mode on Friday afternoon. All of you know ebay as a auction site, now ebay is adding a new way of selling there items just like a regular website. I think this is to knock Amazon and Overstock for opening auction sites. eBay Express - is aimed squarely at the many shoppers who want to get on the Internet, buy what they want at a good price, and get off. To help them, eBay Express will be limited to fixed price, commodity-type items such as such as DVDs and jeans–this will not be the place to sell that one-of-kind collectible.

eBay Express will have its own URL (express.ebay.com), but still be part of the eBay marketplace. Your qualifying eBay Store and Fixed Price listings will automatically also show up on eBay Express.

  Here are some great things sellers will benefit from ebay express.
  
  eBay Express will be eBay's strongest challenge yet to Amazon (and Walmart.com, etc), and can potentially bring in millions of new shoppers. Many people just want to quickly complete a transaction for a particular item they want to buy. They're not seeking the auction ambience. eBay Express would attract online shoppers who want an "Amazon-like" experience. Despite all the many enhancements over the years (or maybe because of them) new users still find eBay difficult to navigate.
• 
  eBay Express favors sellers who take their eBay businesses seriously, and discourages less-professional sellers, because of the requirements participating sellers must meet. Obviously this works in a PowerSeller's favor. Lots of the really big sellers, especially, have been looking for ways to further distinguish them from new, unproven sellers.
• 
  PowerSellers are excited about the opportunity eBay Express will give them to attract more customers to their own eBay Stores, and traditional auctions. Once they have the attention of these buyers, PowerSellers plan to do all they can to make these customers their customers, and not just eBay's. Cross promoting through links to their stores, for example, is just one way PowerSellers plan to aggressively go after this new market.
• 
  There are no extra fees for listing your items on eBay Express. Actually eBay Express is more of a filtering service, according to PowerSeller Andy Mowery, of debnroo. As long as your items meet the criteria they automatically show up on the new site. That means more exposure at no extra charge.
