Paid Adds Drop-Ship Feature to eBay Ecommerce Software

Paid Inc. has added a drop-shipping feature to its AuctionInc aiSeller and ShopCart eCommerce solutions for eBay sellers and online merchants. Drop shipping allows online retailers and auction sellers to send orders placed through their online stores to manufacturers, distributors or major warehouses, who in turn "drop ship" the items directly to the retailer's customers - essentially handling the order fulfillment for the retailer.

aiSeller and ShopCart, Paid's shopping cart and shipping calculation software for online auctions and online retailers respectively, now supports multiple origin locations, commonly called "drop shipping." Paid's patent- pending shipping calculation software can now quote the correct shipping rate for each item in an order as it is added to the shopping cart, even if the various items originate from separate locations. Shoppers will be unaware of the multiple origination points as the shopping cart will display one total shipping charge for all the items selected.

In addition to the new drop ship feature, Paid's patent-pending AuctionInc and ShipCalc/ShopCart solutions continue to offer automatic shipping rate calculations based on destination zip code and product size and weight and any special packaging or handling at any time during the shopping process, rather than surprising buyers at checkout. Additionally, for valuable items requiring insurance, AuctionInc is capable of recalculating the shipping costs as the auction bids for the item change, enabling the buyer to know the true cost of their purchase.
