In a recent blog post, eBay announced that it will soon launch a branded supplies store, featuring eBay branded boxes, envelopes and tape — with more items to be added in future. The company stated that this move has been prompted by a demand from sellers who were looking at cost-effective, convenient and eco-friendly eBay branded shipping supplies. As the company works on a transformation program, it is looking to provide sellers with conveniences to encourage them to sell on its platform. The company recently extended its partnership with shipping and packaging company Shyp into the Los Angeles market, providing sellers the convenience of getting the products sold on eBay packed, picked up and shipped to the buyers. We believe that shipping supplies should increase seller convenience, which in turn will give eBay brand recognition and change its image from a “second hand “ products marketplace to an e commerce portal where a wide range of products can be purchased and sold. This should help in the company’s turnaround strategy and enable it to increase market share in the long term.
