eBay and Doddle team up

eBay business and consumer sellers can now offer their customers the option of picking up their purchases from Doddle locations. In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (21 September), Doddle said that the pilot service will start with Doddle’s flagship stores in London and Brighton, including Kings Cross, Canary Wharf and Liverpool Street, before expanding to all Doddle locations in supermarkets, shopping centres and charity shops in the coming months.

Under the new service, buyers will be able to collect their eBay purchases from Doddle stores for free. eBay will notify buyers as soon as their item is available in store and they can collect at a time that is most convenient for them.

Jon Ford, Head of Shipping Development, eBay, said: “We already have millions of Click & Collect enabled listings on eBay and the collaboration with Doddle will help us extend our collection footprint whilst also helping sellers on eBay to enhance their fulfilment capabilities.”
