Get Ready to Support eBay Express!

Updated 4/26/2006

eBay Express (express.ebay.com) is a new specialty site where customers can buy new, fixed-price goods in a more conventional e-commerce experience.

With the introduction of this new site, all fixed price listings will still be shown on eBay.com—plus a portion of these fixed price and Stores Inventory format listings will also be shown on eBay Express.

For Buyers: You'll find great deals from reputable merchants on new, name brand, and hard-to-find merchandise. You can purchase products right away—for just about everything you could need or want, from designer jeans, to a complete home theater system. Everything on eBay Express is available for immediate purchase at a fixed price so you're assured of getting the items you want now, with no bidding and no waiting for auctions to end. Buyers can pay for everything—including shipping—in a single, secure payment using PayPal or their credit card. Both methods are safe and secure and processed by PayPal.

For Sellers: Selling on eBay Express is essentially the same as selling on eBay.com. The seller just needs to meet certain eligibility criteria, and they need to include certain features for their eBay listings to qualify for eBay Express.

For Developers: If your application already supports most of the common eBay selling features, you should able to use the same Sell Your Item flow (and the same AddItem fields) that you already support. See below for details. (If you offer Third-Party Checkout, you need to make some changes to your application, as described below.)

Communication with buyers, sellers, and eBay (i.e., Ask Seller a Question and end-of-listing emails) remains the same too. In fact, the main difference is that sellers have more exposure to top buyers and convenience-oriented buyers—at no additional cost.
