SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay, the
global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and
sellers, and UPS® are announcing a new collaboration to
expand shipping options on eBay's global marketplace. eBay supports
its sellers by bringing them the best tools and services for their
business needs, and beginning later this week, the company will
offer sellers even more choice when it comes to how they ship with
the option to use UPS as an integrated service. The full launch of
this new shipping option will be available to all 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 Vice President of Seller Operations and Engagement
Marni Levine. "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 is committed to building the best global marketplace for
buyers and sellers through a tech-led reimagination of its
marketplace. Through this integration, UPS will be added to eBay
Labels, available in both desktop and mobile, saving sellers time
and money, bringing together their order details, customer
information, label printing, and shipment tracking – all in one
place.
Additionally, this relationship provides a number of new
features for selling and shipping on eBay through UPS,
including:
- Seller Savings: Discounts of up to 48%*
off UPS® Ground shipments and up to 62%* on daily rates for
