eBay Selling Agency Service Released
A service that allows you to sell on eBay without needing a PayPal account, an eBay account, or English skills



If you are an online retailer or an individual who runs an online business, the keyword eBay is probably in your head.
Now, about 20 years after it was listed in 1998, the business size as of 2016 is as follows:

Number of active users : 162 million
Number of sellers (people doing business on eBay) : 25 million
Sales in the US market (2015): 8.2 trillion yen (US $1 = 1 yen)
Number of registered items in 2015 : Over 800 million
Number of keyword searches per day : 250 million
Sales outside the U.S.: 60%
Number of transactions per day : 19,000
eBay application downloads : 275 million
Used the eBay app when winning an eBay bid : 40%
Localized eBay sites outside of the US : 25 countries


What is particularly noteworthy about these bahrain whatsapp data statistics is that eBay generates 60% of its sales from cross-border e-commerce.
A long time ago, I had the strong impression that it was a business only in the U.S., but that impression has now disappeared, and the amount of cross-border transactions has now already exceeded the total amount of transactions within the U.S.
Of course, many individual and corporate sellers from Japan have also entered the market.

Our company has also been using eBay for cross-border e-commerce since 2013.
Although eBay charges a sales commission of about 17% (winning bid commission (10%) + PayPal settlement commission (3.9% + 40 yen) + foreign currency receipt (2.5%)), which seems a little high compared to domestic transactions, Japanese-made products sold on Yahoo! Auctions sell for two or three times as much.


Although eBay Japan has localized information about eBay into Japanese, it is important to note that all of the actual eBay operating tools are in English. However
, Amazon already has eBay-related books and online schools available for beginners to learn about, so it is true that you can participate even if you do not have a high level of English ability.



Cross-border business and product sales now affect individuals
You don't need to have anything special to buy on eBay, but to sell on eBay, you need at least two accounts: an eBay account and a PayPal account.
Also, depending on the value of the item you're selling, you may need to remove the maximum amount and number of items you can sell .

Anticipating a future in which cross-border e-commerce will have an impact on individuals, we have released a beta version of a service that allows you to sell items on eBay without needing an eBay or PayPal account. We
have created listing templates mainly for watches, wallets, bags, various branded goods, and cameras, and these items can be listed immediately.

Originally developed as an option for Live Commerce, the eBay listing tool was made available to more people, and we have now successfully automated 90% of the listing process online.
This is our first auction listing service for individuals.
