Headed to CES 2012? Expand to a new no-risk sales channel for your electronics
December 19, 2011
The early results are in for the holiday season, and it’s been a great success. From a category perspective, here’s how it breaks down broadly as a % of sales so far since we launched in early October:
- Electronics: 52%
- Toys, Games & Baby: 32%
- Home & Garden: 13%
- Other categories: 3%
Based on this early success, Jessica and I will be out @ CES 2012 on January 9th and 10th to talk with electronics retailers that are interested in expanding to a new sales channel with great traffic, brand, and proven success.

Control your Shipping Options: Ability to Control Alaska/Hawaii & PO Boxes
October 28, 2011
As part of the recent Marketplace launch, we’ve recently added an enhancement for our sellers (and buyers!) which allows finer-grained control of shipping options for listings.
Previously, a seller could choose from the following four options:
- Standard Domestic
- Express Domestic
- Canada
- International
Improvements to Refund Processing Introduced
October 21, 2011
There’s been a lot going on in the Marketplace world recently, but I thought I would talk briefly about a change we introduced today that should help sellers be more specific about the types of refunds that they wish to give to the buyer.
In particular, in addition to choosing a full or partial refund, sellers can now specify if they want to refund item or shipping charges back to the buyer. The system will keep track of how much you’ve refunded to both amounts, and not allow you to exceed those numbers.
And … now that the marketplace is charging tax, we will refund the appropriate tax to the buyer automatically!
Until next time,
