|
|
eBay has upgraded its new eBay Express fixed-price marketplace. Unlike eBay, eBay Express uses a shopping cart that allows shoppers to buy multiple items from different sellers in one transaction and pay using either PayPal or a credit card. When the service launched in the Spring, there was a limit on how many different sellers one transaction could encompass.
Now, shoppers can buy items from up to ten different sellers in one transaction; previously, there was a five-merchant limit.
eBay did not publicly announce the upgrade, but notified AuctionBytes after it ran an article on Thursday about eBay Express and other online marketplaces entitled, "Shopping Online with eBay Express, Amazon, Overstock and Google Checkout" (http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y06/m09/i21/s01). According to an eBay spokesperson, eBay upgraded the shopping cart the first week in September.

Providing the cart for stores would be a great idea, but it's extremely unlikely in my opinion. eBay is going to say if you want that functionality for store items, all you have to do is enable them in express.
It won't be true of course; you cannot link to your store or your store categories from express listings, so it will never be the same as a store shopping cart. |
