eBay Valet coming to 1,600 FedEx Office stores
eBay and FedEx Office are teaming up to roll out the eBay Valet Drop-Off Program to more than 1,600 FedEx Office stores over the coming months. In a statement issued yesterday (10 May), the companies explained how the system will work: ” Customers will be able to sell items with eBay Valet in three easy steps. First, customers will be able to bring in items to a FedEx Office location. Next, backed by the FedEx Office Packing Pledge, a FedEx Office team member will pack and ship the item(s) to an eBay Valet processing center to be listed, sold and shipped to the buyer. Finally, once the item(s) sells, the customer will receive payment via PayPal. Customers will receive updates and notifications throughout the selling process.”
Laura Chambers, Vice President of Consumer Selling, eBay, commented: “As a pioneer in peer-to-peer selling, eBay understands that ease and flexibility are critical for consumers looking to sell online. That’s why we’re investing in solutions and offerings that streamline every stage of the selling process – from listing, to shipping, to successful sales.
“Our relationship with FedEx Office allows us to offer even more choices to consumers looking to get the most money for their items with the least amount of work … and the peace of mind it will arrive safely.”
FedEx and eBay ran a pilot programme in Atlanta and Los Angeles.
