eBay (EBAY) to Launch New Shipping Supplies Store

At eBay, we’re constantly looking for ways to help our sellers grow and ship smarter. With that in mind, we’ll soon be launching a branded supplies store, featuring eBay branded quality boxes, envelopes and tape – with more items to be added over time.

What was the prompt for the new supplies store? Many of our sellers told us that they wanted to purchase eBay branded shipping supplies online and we wanted to provide them with more choices. Our sellers also said that cost and convenience were the most important attributes when choosing what and where to purchase. As a result, we will be providing competitively priced, quality supplies with easy online ordering and convenient shipping.

“We’re not only excited to introduce eBay branded shipping supplies to our customers, but to do so in a cost-effective, eco-friendly and convenient manner that satisfies the needs of our sellers,” said Manish Joneja, Head of North America Shipping Business for eBay.

The eBay Shipping Supplies store will be operated by a third-party fulfillment partner with a license to use the eBay trademark. Initially, sellers will be able to buy 100 percent recyclable boxes in 10 different sizes; “airjacket” bubble mailers; “polyjacket” mailers; and premium quality tape.

Keep an eye out for the launch of the new store in the near future.
