FRANKFURT (AFX) - Ebay Inc plans to introduce a new Ebay Express service that will allow corporations to sell goods via the Ebay sales platform, WirtschaftsWoche reported citing the head of its German operations, Stefan Gross-Selbeck.
Ebay Express differs from the standard Ebay service because all the products it will offer for sale come from the original manufacturer.
The online auction house will launch the service within the coming weeks in the US. Ebay's German operations will launch Ebay Express this autumn.
'This new marketplace is an important step in Ebay's expansion as an Internet sales platform,' Gross-Selbeck told the magazine.
Unlike the standard Ebay service, Ebay Express customers will also be able to receive full refunds from sellers.
