eBay Malaysia Launches Innovative Custom Shopping Experience

Captivating new features connect global customers with the things they love, anytime

KUALA LUMPUR, May 29, 2013 – eBay today announced a series of fresh new features and enhancements to its Malaysia website, effective Thursday, 30 May. The changes reflect a new eBay, the world’s largest online shopping mall, with the most merchants anywhere.

The new ebay.com.my sports a cleaner and more contemporary look and feel. It’s also a more intuitive, convenient way for online customers to browse the biggest selection of new and fixed price merchandise – from electronics to fashion. As always, the website is safe and easy to use, offering sellers a number of payment options, including PayPal, credit card, debit card, online bank transfer and others.

The site now has a personal way to curate your own shopping experience and discover items, called the Feed. This feature creates the experience of an online personal shopper by matching customer interest with eBay’s global inventory. It’s similar to creating a news feed, but instead offers visual inspiration that’s instantly shoppable.

The new eBay also gives customers greater selection, and better savings. Malaysians can now buy from a pool of local listings, and over 25 million new global listings using ebay.com.my. Shoppers have access to more daily bargains, including up to 90% discounts off the recommended retail prices of a range of electronics, mobile accessories, computers and watches.

Additionally, streamlined navigation and headers on the new site provide an easy, consistent shopping experience. The platform also has “view item” pages, which offer bigger photos and key product information. Customers can also link their eBay and PayPal accounts to make check-out faster and easier.
“Welcome to the new eBay, the future of commerce,” commented Jason Lee (李日昇), Regional Director, Southeast Asia and Middle East. “Our web shopping experience is unmatched and we are excited and proud to make these new features available in Malaysia.”

“In the next few years, the US$10 trillion global retail market will be transformed in terms of speed, access and overall experience. eBay will be at the forefront of this change, with tremendous growth taking place in South East Asia,” added  Lee.

The top three most popular shopping categories in Malaysia are: clothing and accessories; mobile phones and accessories; and toys. Interestingly, fashion and beauty products as well as sporting goods have been in high demand over the last 12 months.
