Buy.com Partnership: A Bump in eBay's 'Level Playing Field'

eBay's (EBAY) "level playing field" has a bump and it's called Buy.com

If you ever wanted a preview of the "new eBay," I've got a treat for you: it will look a lot like Buy.com's eBay store. You will be surprised to see 150,000 3-day Fixed Price listings. Yes, that is correct—150,000 FP listings, in categories like Books, Music, DVD, and Computers.

Each of the listings requires immediate payment (no more nasty non-paying bidders), PayPal only, multiple quantities per listing, the listings run for 3 days and all of the items in the computer category include "Free Shipping". Also, if they are selling a item that has multiple color options , sizes or other options, they will have one listing for the SKU and somewhere in the order flow the consumer can select their options. (Wouldn't this be a great option for other eBay sellers?)

Buy has a 99.6 Feedback rating and DSRs of 4.8 across the board and has been actively selling on eBay since December of 2007, but there was nothing special about any of that until this week. Thanks to a tip from a reader, I noticed an increase in Buy's Fixed Price listings. Well, I smelled a story, so I contacted eBay and low and behold, there was a story.

Here is the response I received from eBay Spokesman Usher Lieberman:

eBay is aggressively using price as a lever to improve the value and selection on eBay.com. Consistent with our goals, we have entered into a partnership with Buy.com to bring their new-in-season merchandise onto eBay.com. We expect to learn a great deal from this partnership and we will build upon the results.

I asked how this could be economically feasible for Buy.com to list that many listings in Core; my quick calculation put their 3-day listing fees at $600,000. I was told, both by eBay and Buy.com, that this partnership was "economically feasible" for both parties, but that no details would be released.

Lieberman went on to say:

As part of the deal, Buy.com is limited to a single listing per SKU and their merchandise will compete with the merchandise of all sellers for search exposure. It remains incumbent upon every eBay seller to maintain great service, as defined by DSR scores, to surface at the top of search results.

So, I couldn't let this go and I contacted Brandon Dupsky of PeSA/ECMTA and asked if any of the top eBay sellers in his organization were getting a special listing deal. He replied:

No, not to my knowledge. [...] If eBay will be providing volume discounts to large sellers, I hope they start off by opening the door to the professional sellers who helped them build the eBay marketplace over the years.

I'm all for allowing sellers to negotiate volume deals with eBay; I had asked to negotiate my fees every year that I sold on eBay and was always told "that is not going to happen," but in light of eBay founder, Pierre Omidyar's, recent quote about "the level playing field", you can see that this announcement will not sit well with eBay sellers.

Pierre said, in a recent quote from a video clip:

What I meant by level playing field is that everyone should be given an equal opportunity….. I didn't want to have sort of artificial barriers placed on newcomers and to have people by virtue of their stature outside of the eBay community somehow be treated better—special deals behind the scenes because they’re a big retailer and we want to get them to come on eBay, that kind of stuff. That would have been—is—a disaster. That is what I meant by level playing field.

Most long-time eBay sellers have felt that it was just a matter of time before a major online retailer started selling on eBay, especially with eBay's drive to create a more retail experience for the buyer, but we all knew it wouldn't happen with the current eBay fee structure, which is not conducive to scaling a large business. Well, after this breaking news, "this ain't your Mama's eBay any longer."

Granted, Buy.com's listings serve as a sort of "Best Practices" for the new eBay, but the economics haven't changed for the existing eBay seller. They can't afford to list 150,000 Fixed Price listings because they still have to pay "Rate Card".

Buy.com is a beneficiary of this new way of thinking at eBay and I guarantee they won't be the last retailer to launch on eBay, now that the economic barriers have been lifted. Mr. Lieberman did say "they were the only one at this time".

Just my 12% or, in Buy.com's case, maybe 10% with no listing fees.

Update: Here is eBay's official response to the story by RBH at the eBayInkBlog.

Hello God, are you out there?
God, why would eBay do the things they are doing? Do they know that they are hurting the people that made them who they are? Do they know that their plans to so called keep us safe are taking food out of the mouths of the people who made them. Do they understand that with the economy the way it is that people are going out of business because of their changes to increase security? Does eBay understand that because of the changes they have made our families are now suffering and cannot pay its bills? Dear God does eBay understand that I am now at risk of putting my family on the street because I trusted in them 5 years ago and built a business under their name to support my family? Do they understand that I dedicated my life to eBay only to have them turn their back on me time after time? Dear God, do they know or have any idea of how many people they are driving to bankruptcy foreclosure and even suicide. Dear God these are my thoughts and all are in my Prayers

If I had wanted to shop with more of a retail experience I would have just shopped at a large online retail store (fill in the store names yourself there are too many to list), I shop ebay for hard to find items that are usually listed by very small sellers.

P.S. I have not seen any "Deals" coming from the Buy.com listings, and the free shipping is bogus as they just tack it on top of the purchase price.

Kudos to ebay, we really needed one more online storefront selling all the overstock designer shoes, handbags and books we could possibly ever need, and at a time when the economy doesn't allow most consumers to afford any more of these luxury items...

Amazon.com, Overstock.com, Buy.com, wow ebay you finally made it to the ranks of these other fine warehouse company's. You discarded your working class roots and joined the corporate retail market... Now get in there and try to sell us some crap we don't want!!!

If this is the new eBay all the executives can start shuttering their office buildings up now.
Buy Dot Com is listing up a storm, but outside of the computer category, they aren't selling much of anything. EBay's "indie seller" rate was something like 40% sell through. Most successful sellers had 50-65% at minimum.
The newbies and clueless averaged in with the experienced sellers brought the average down so low.
I am told Buy has about 5%, and it seems to be all in the computer field where Nigerian scammers and Paypal fraud abounds.

So is Buy being used to take care of the scammers for eBay?
Dangle Buy out there in the high tech/high fraud category and force them to clean it up or get burned out of business entirely.
How much do you want to bet that Paypal doesn't always find the buyer right in a conflict with the seller, when the seller is Buy, the way they do with the small timers?

EBay's current business model is to shift all risks to their member sellers, and reap all profits (by force, if possible, such as the new 21 day Paypal holds for not selling in enough volume).

If the rest of the new more retail model is anything like Buy, there will be no eBay in a few years from now, because it will be selling nothing.

Amazon may have the very same books, but there is a major difference.
On Amazon, the books are selling.
On eBay they are not.

I'm a small time seller and due to pricing increases, postage rate jumps and growing lack of unique merchandise to attract buyers, as well as the ridiculous feedback system changes - I'm getting out. I wonder what would happen of several thousand people or more agreed with me?

They are placing Buy listings into the auction count, and using other tactics, to artificially inflate the numbers and keep the stock up. I've heard the SEC is investigating. eBay may well become the next Enron. If you own stock dump it quick, like the top executives are doing, before it tanks.

I don't get it...the whole reason people go to ebay was to find things you wouldn't find at a retail stores website. Really unique things, and it was a fun place to "see what would happen". To bad and so sad.

In my opinion....with the economy the way it is people are NOT going to be shopping for the NEW items as much since they will be forced at some point to look for GOOD DEALS on necessesities and LOW COST on the fun stuff.

With Ebay you could buy more than one item from a seller, combine the shipping and with most sellers get a veriety of items.

Again, too bad and so sad...
