With UPS online shipping solutions, eBay PowerSellers can transform their desktops into a virtual shipping centre.

This allows sellers to anticipate any delays in their delivery and notify their buyers in advance of any changes in delivery times. In addition, users can customise the system to meet their unique business needs and make their business more efficient, such as storing information on their regular buyers in their address book to save time on future order processing.
With UPS, eBay PowerSellers can easily connect with customers around the world with a service option that guarantees speedy and reliable deliveries internationally. The Hong Kong eBay shipping solution is available in English and Chinese at http://go.ebay.com.hk/shipping.
