eBay is a global classified website with an entire section dedicated to ‘fashion’. The site is close to saturated with listings for high-end, designer, one of a kind and vintage clothes.
This saturation of sellers can make it difficult to stand out as reliable and trustworthy. While eBay has adapted to offer secure payment methods like PayPal, these are still ultimately optional and although they can create a sense of security, they lack a tracked delivery service.
Not only can Trustap offer a safe payment platform, but it also offers tracked delivery for online transactions as well as formal dispute resolution processes. These additional offerings could act as a major unique selling point for sellers who are trying to stand out in an extremely crowded marketplace. Tracked delivery removes buyers’ stress when wondering whether or not an item will make it to them and how long it will take. Similarly, with Trustap’s dispute resolution centre, buyers and sellers alike are protected in situations where complaints are lodged or refunds are requested.
Therefore, as a seller, by highlighting the fact that you prefer to opt for a secure online payment service like Trustap, that protects buyers as well as sellers, buyers can recognise your authenticity and reliability. This is definitely something buyers are on the lookout for on a classified site like eBay and it’s particularly important to those buying clothes on eBay due to the high-end nature of most of the clothes being sold. A larger value transaction could see buyers and sellers being more appreciative of that extra layer of security surrounding the transaction that Trustap’s service creates.
To sell clothes on eBay using Trustap, the seller must first find an interested buyer, then both parties must register an account. Once the seller and buyer have privately agreed on a price, the seller can create an ‘Online’ transaction via the Trustap website entering the product description, price and currency. The buyer then joins the Trustap transaction via a link shared with them by the seller. The buyer can then check that the description and price are as expected and agree to the transaction terms. After agreeing to the terms, the buyer transfers the agreed amount into the Trustap Hold. Next, the seller inputs the tracking details of the product and sends it within 48 hours of the funds being lodged by the buyer. Trustap then begins the process of tracking the product.
Once the buyer has received and signed for the product they are given, a complaints window of 24 hours begins to verify whether or not the product is as described by the seller on eBay. The funds will only be released to the seller once the complaints period has elapsed.
This secure process ensures both the buyer and seller are protected and gives the seller that needed edge over other vendors on eBay selling similar clothes. So, not only will the seller stand out but they’ll also be offered an escrow-like payment solution that other payment platforms cannot provide, it's a win-win situation.
