With the rapid development of the Internet, the cross-border e-commerce industry has ushered in a peak period. A large number of e-commerce platforms have emerged in the market, such as eBay. More and more sellers choose to open stores on the eBay platform. In order to provide buyers with a good shopping experience, the eBay platform also has very strict assessment standards for overseas warehouses. So what are the time requirements for eBay’s real overseas warehouses in the United States?
The time requirements for eBay’s real overseas warehouses in the United States are as follows:
1. International transportation.
International transportation time depends on the destination, usually between a few working days and a few weeks. This depends on the selected international express service and the relevant procedures of the destination country.
2. Domestic delivery.
Once the package arrives at the destination country, the domestic delivery time will be determined by the efficiency of the postal service and logistics partners in the destination country. Usually, domestic delivery may take several days to several weeks.
3. Delivery time.
The delivery time of overseas warehouses must meet the requirements specified by eBay. This means that the order must be shipped on time and delivered within the promised time.
4. Delivery rate.
The delivery rate of overseas warehouses refers to the ratio between the number of successfully delivered orders and the total number of orders. eBay usually requires the delivery rate of overseas warehouses to be maintained at a high level to ensure timely processing and delivery of orders.
5. Delivery rate.
The delivery rate of overseas warehouses refers to the ratio between the number of successfully delivered orders and the total number of orders. eBay encourages overseas warehouses to provide accurate tracking numbers and timely update the delivery status to improve the delivery rate.
6. Timely delivery rate.
Complete no less than 80% of the collection and scanning within 1 working day after the buyer pays. For US overseas warehouses, in addition, eBay has begun to track the timely delivery rate of overseas warehouses and review the effectiveness of “collection scanning”. It is recommended that sellers use logistics service providers that can provide effective “collection scanning”.
7. Standardize the service commitment time limit of overseas warehouses.
When sellers publish products, the total time of order processing days and the estimated delivery days of the provided logistics options cannot exceed the specified requirements, otherwise it will be considered as non-compliant publishing.
These standards help eBay ensure that overseas warehouses can process orders on time and accurately, and ensure that goods can be delivered to buyers in a timely manner. Buyers are very concerned about these indicators because they affect their shopping experience.
Overseas warehouses are very important for sellers. They can help sellers reduce a lot of expenses, but overseas warehouses have advantages and disadvantages. They can help sellers reduce transportation costs, shorten delivery time, reduce tariffs and taxes, and improve product availability. The disadvantages are also obvious. Establishing and maintaining overseas warehouses requires a certain amount of capital investment, which may be an unbearable burden for small sellers. Managing warehouses and inventory located in different regions may increase the complexity and cost of sellers’ operations, and requires careful planning and coordination. There are some risks in overseas warehouses, such as damage, loss or theft of goods. Sellers need to take appropriate insurance and security measures to deal with these risks. That’s all about the timeliness requirements of eBay’s real overseas warehouses in the United States.
