About eBay logistics services

if eBay can take care of the whole warehousing organization for us, it would be much better for us. please help with the warehouse. even if there are 10 warehouses in the USA, this is a very nice advantage

I highly doubt eBay would appreciate having to deal with categorizing/ organizing thousands of my grimy, greasy, rusty automotive and motorcycle parts.

How would sellers get their items to these warehouses? Would it be cost effective?

It is not likely that Ebay is going to set up what sounds like a drop shipping operation for you. If you can arrange just one warehouse of your own in this country it can ship everywhere else. You do not need 10 warehouses to get the job done although it appears that you are in Turkey so you may have some problems running an operation here.

storage service is required for 1 fl. oz. serum as well as for large oil engines. otherwise, when selling internationally, logistics, storage and sales platforms will be separate and will lead to confusion

For more than 5 years we have been selling on amazon and it has made our logistics operations incredibly light. but we avoid selling on eBay because of this problem

ebay is a different animal (at least currently) from Amazon.  ebay still has a large percentage of sellers moving secondhand and antique goods, and does no internal vetting, unlike Amazon.  What you're hoping for won't happen until the money flow changes enough to make it worthwhile to ebay.

Why can't you use the Amazon FBA service to fulfill your eBay orders?

Because first I will need to list the products on Amazon, then I will need to send them to the intermediary warehouse. The products will be labeled and then shipped to the customer. The shipping time will be extended.

For years, Amazon lost money while it was setting up its warehousing and transportation operations.

One of Jeff Bezos greatest accomplishments was fending off Wall Street critics and keeping the price of his stock up.

Ebay has never been as good at keeping Wall Street happy, and is unlikely to consider the amount of investment required. Amazon had the advantage of needing the functions for the products they owned and sold. Ebay does not intend to sell product it owns.
