Enhanced services for eBay Singapore sellers exporting goods to the US

eBay and SingPost announced last week the launch of ePAC, a new shipping service for eBay Singapore sellers that offers enhanced international tracking and faster delivery times of within six to eight working days. The service applies to lightweight goods under 2kg from Singapore to United States.

ePAC is launched in collaboration with the United States Postal Service. US customers benefit too as this new service allows them to easily track and confirm delivery via their My eBay account, which gives them more peace of mind.

“Singapore sellers on eBay are highly regarded for combining good quality products at great value. This is primarily why this market has the second largest sales in Southeast Asia after Thailand,” said Oliver Hua, COO of the Greater China, Southeast Asia and Japan, eBay Marketplaces.

“We foresee ePAC playing a vital role in driving Singapore’s online exports to the United States as demonstrated by a similar shipping service launched with China Post and the U.S. Postal Service in September 2010, which is already processing more than 90,000 parcels a day.”

According to the Asian Exporters’ Index report released last year, Singapore sellers primarily sell their goods on eBay’s US, UK, Australia and Germany websites, with purchases from Brazil among the fastest growing. Singapore exporters primarily sell the following goods: Jewelry, gems and watches, clothing and accessories, business items for industrial and office use, toys, and computers.
