E-Bay comes to Russia

[BAGIRA]

I use e-Bai age 8, though more buying. Pay for purchases at e-BAE you must usually within 3 days if no conditions from the seller to pay immediately. You can pay or a bank account or credit card through Pay Pal. This is the most convenient. Refunds through Pay Pal up to 90 days. The seller is obliged to set conditions, in what way he wants to get paid. If the purchase came in and she does not like something, you can send back. Money for the delivery and the seller is not sending back returns. When you win the auction, that is, you set your price and you won on it, it does not mean that you bought at that price. Billed the price of the previous party in front of you and it is your purchase. Most often shipping is included in the price of the object. And as is often the object is sold for less than a dollar, but then need to watch what they want for shipping. There, the price may be mad, because "that is not taxable. Yes, now there is a rule that every month the first 5 things that you want to sell are not taxed. All America is sitting on the e-BAE. Sell everything you can and make money, you can say, without leaving the house, only to mail. And then you can call, come take away. Delivery also ogavarivaetsya seller immediately for sale. You just choose what suits you. Sincerely, Maiga.

News of the day: Americans are afraid of buyers from Russia
In Russia, sanctions are coming online, and Russian hackers stole millions, but in the world World Wide Web has long been ranked among the list of basic human rights. Not surprisingly, it is here that problems in the American online auction eBay. Buyers from Russia are afraid.
The service has started to malfunction, and it was with the Russians and just before the official opening of Russia's Internet presence, which will be held on March 16. Parcels have to go from abroad instead of couple of weeks - a few months. As a result, auction sellers are afraid to work with buyers from Russia, because they are threatened by blocking your account. And the Russians may be left without the only opportunity for many to buy high-tech innovations at a reasonable price, and before the official announcement in Russia.
EBay rules meant for delivery to a new owner within a month. If the purchase is late, the seller may be accused of bad faith, and the account closed. That is why the auction started to be afraid of buyers from Russia - before sending them sometimes goes for months.
The root of the evil they see in the "Post of Russia", whose members simply can not cope with the volume of parcels from abroad. Parcels was more at 64%, but the people do not have enough.
Meanwhile, eBay very soon - 16 March - is preparing for an official appearance in Russia. Russian menu, search, delivery to Russia and recalculate the value of the ruble equivalent - it's all there. In addition, according to the developers eBay will be fully adapted to Russian. However, the official web site of does not mean off-line counterpart. This means that all disputes will be resolved through the Center for Conflict Resolution ", that is unlikely to have a positive impact on the fate of parcels Russian buyers in the near future. Meanwhile, the nightmare of Russian Internet users has become a reality.

Russia's eBay users are going to condemn "Mail of Russia"
"Mail of Russia" has responded to media reports that the popular internet auction site eBay could sever relations with Russia because of unimportant work departments. Post executives have scrambled to assure that neither eBay, nor any of the online stores officially on the severance of relations is not declared.
Nevertheless, consumers ordering goods from abroad, are going to throw "Mail of Russia" lawsuits, believes BFM.ru.
Recall, the world's largest Internet auction site eBay, and a number of foreign online stores, for example, Abercrombie & Fitch, this week started to refuse to sell to buyers from Russia, because since the beginning of this year's deadline Package "Mail of Russia" increased from 2 weeks to 2 months.
Under the rules of the payment system PayPal, through which the payment at the auction, the goods must be delivered to the buyer within 30 days from the date of payment. Excess delivery period without refund threatens blocking Seller Account.

"Mail of Russia" nevertheless admitted that paragraph international postal exchange in Moscow "have been cases of delayed processing of international mail arriving at the destination addresses in the territory of Russia from abroad. The reason is that the increase in postage was 64%in January-February 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.
In response to the allegations in letters to the delay at the border press office of the Central Customs Office Russia reported that the increase in delivery times of items unrelated to the timing of customs procedures.
Buyers, sellers and intermediaries eBay.com, communicating on the forum ebay-forum.ru, decided to file a class action lawsuit for "Mail of Russia", but in Russia's legislation this form of action is not provided. Therefore, representatives of consumer societies advised them to file individual claims en masse. In addition, the organization is ready to provide free assistance in the preparation of such claims.
Recall, March 16 Internet auction site eBay pledges to launch Russian-language version of the site. Localized online auction will allow the Russians to put up for auction and will open their lots for them, some other possibilities, in particular, unlike many countries where support for email is in English, in Russia it will be in Russian.
Last year alone, Russia's market of electronic commerce has grown more than 50%up to $ 5 billion. Meanwhile, eBay director of business development in Europe Alina Pravdzhik advises clients from Russia to use alternatives for delivery, which is guaranteed to give an opportunity to use the services of the auction.
In that recent months, delivery of parcels from abroad has deteriorated dramatically, it is easily seen by tracing the complaint on numerous Internet forums. Current projects can trace the path of parcels, and many have noticed that for some reason they sent the cargo stuck at the yards of the Kazan railway station of the capital (even if it will sail through the air, rather than the train).
Correspondent NEWSru.com, also waiting for a parcel of private U.S. since December, in March, asked for clarification of its post office. His staff referred to the general congestion information system in connection with its update. Then in the explanation sounded the same address - yards at the Kazan station, which can not cope with processing.
As it is terse comments, Kazansky railway station is now a temporary storage premises after the customs. Basic yards either closed for repairs, or going through the very system upgrade.
Indeed, back in December "Mail of Russia" is almost invisible to customers warned that due to change in the software information system in the periods 19-27 December 2009, processing time and to send international mail, including parcels EMS, as well as the timing transmission of information about the IB UPU registered postal items and dispatches can be increased.
Term, which officials have chosen to update the software, even then it was difficult to include appropriate: the load on the mail before it grows New Year holidays. The current chaos is long gone beyond the promised delay.

Actually, the interesting question of customs .. what products will not fall immediately to the buyer? ie what goods Customs will stop, and send the application for customs clearance of the recipient, as happens sometimes with assumptions .. Secondly, whether Ebeye support EMS and other services .. a general course is a mini-revolution .. be very much interesting when the system will operate normally with Russia ..

Run "Russian eBay" moved from 16 to 25 March

The world's largest Internet auction site eBay canceled the original plans and will not open Russified version of the site on March 16, reports BFM.ru.
Representative of the company Edelman Imageland, implements communication support to run an internet auction, Maria Solovyov told reporters that the launch date russified site ebay.eu.ru rescheduled for March 25.
eBay moved the opening date of the service due to the fact that the visit to Russia, director of business development in Europe, Alina Pravdzik also delayed, but it is to him initially was timed opening date. In the meantime, continues to operate a test version global.ebay.com.
Some experts admit that the real reason for the transfer of the official opening of the service may be reasons of a technical nature.
Localized online auction will allow the Russians to put up for auction and will open their lots for them, some other possibilities, in particular, unlike many countries where support for email is in English, in Russia it will be in Russian.
However, other details have disappointed on-line customers, the newspaper notes. First, the official representative in Russia, the company never will be. Secondly, the payment system PayPal - the main means of payment participants eBay, and will not work in Russia in full force and effect, that is, the Russians will not be able to transfer funds to each other on the internal accounts and cash in the money.
In addition, the Russians will not be able to participate in the auctions, eBay will limit their ability to shop at a fixed price. According to the Edelman Imageland, this is explained by the fact that so far will be implemented only part of the service, although in the foreseeable future functional for Russian users will be expanded.
Thus, the advent of the internet auction market in Russia means that only the localization of the interface and add an option that allows the sample to make lots delivered to Russia. Description of goods will continue to be in English and in Russian will be only technical support.
EBay Businesses in Russia can damage and slow work address. Recall that in recent months a number of foreign online stores, including mnogoih sellers on eBay, denied the Russians in the ordering process. Since the new year period Package "Mail of Russia" has risen from 2 - 4 weeks prior to 1,5 - 2 months.
Russia's users of the internet auction eBay is now trying to fill the post office for its lawsuits. While eBay offers to use other means of delivery.
