(PRWEB) March 1, 2007 -- OZtion, Australia's second largest online auction and shopping site (http://www.oztion.com.au), has today announced that they are now extending their unique online vShop service to UK based businesses.
OZtion's vShop service allows any UK business to establish a fully branded, easy to setup and maintain Internet shop. Each vShop is created within the OZtion site, and benefits from the 1.3 million monthly Australian visitors to www.oztion.com.au. OZtion's vShop service has previously only been available to sellers based in Australia.
Philip Druce, Managing Director for OZtion commented, "Australians love shopping online, so we are now making it safer and easier for all Australians to buy products direct from the UK. Our vShop service gives UK businesses a low cost, easy way to both promote themselves, and expand their customer base."
UK based businesses or individuals can register for the vShop service immediately by joining www.oztion.com.au today. vShops run by UK based businesses will be able to sell products from early March.
Before activation of any vShop service, OZtion performs extensive identity checks, including physical address and credit card verification.
In order to prevent common Internet based scams, UK based businesses and individuals operating a vShop will be required to offer secure methods of payment to their OZtion customers. Credit card, Paypal (http://www.paypal.com) and Paymate (http://www.paymate.com) will be the only payment methods accepted at vShops operated by UK based businesses.
Sellers wishing to use the vShop service will be charged a $5 (AUD) inc GST monthly administration fee. Sellers can list items within their vShop using OZtion's Zero Cost Listing service, which is a form of "pay for sale" advertising.
Items within the vShop can be sold using fixed prices, or use OZtion's automated auction system. OZtion provides a system wide shopping basket system, so that people can purchase items from multiple vShops in a single process. Shopping carts can also be saved by shoppers and retrieved at a later time, if they need to interrupt their purchase.
There is no charge to place a standard item listing within a vShop, with only a very low fee of between 1.5% and 3% of the final sale price charged in the event the item is sold. The item sale fee is capped at $30 (AUD) inc GST per item.
Membership at OZtion is free. Anybody can join and purchase products.
