PayPal & ChannelAdvisor to present at eTail Europe
May 21, 2008
In two weeks time some of the leading UK online retailers will be heading to Café Royal, London for the eTail Europe conference.
The show is aimed at VPs, Directors and managers of online retailers with tracks on Web 2.0/Emerging Technologies, Mutli-Channel Integration, Advanced Merchandising and Personalisation & Segmentation. There is also a Search & Analytics Day on the 2nd June prior to the main conference on the 3rd - 4th June.
Show sponsors include PayPal, with Carl-Olav Scheible sitting on a Keynote Panel: Expanding Your Horizons: Becoming An International Retail Player, and as a lead sponsor ChannelAdvisor, with James Scott discussing Reaching Buyers Wherever They Shop Online. James will be presenting real-life case studies from top retailers such as Schuh, Charles Tyrwhitt and Orvis, as well as discussing the best practices employed by these retailers.
The show is smaller than most, with some 280 leading e-commerce executives expected to attend. With the attendance cost at £1119 for retailers and £1624 for industry service providers it ensures only serious retailers will be in attendance providing a perfect opportunity for networking with peers.
This appears an ideal opportunity for PayPal to sign up a couple more top UK retailers, they’re on a roll at the moment with the news that they’ve partnered with Microsoft released today.
PayPal buyer protection to increase
April 22, 2008
Carl-Olav Scheible of PayPal had some interesting comments regarding buyer protection, at Catalyst today.
When asked if PayPal in the UK would be increasing buyer protection cover upwards from the current £500 maximum he explained that the level of protection doesn’t influence buyers more buyers to use PayPal. Generally if a buyer is wary of spending online it doesn’t appear to make a difference if all or just part of their purchase is protected.
However the long term aim is to increase covereage, the first step will be to bring the £150 level up to match the £500 coverage, and from then on to increase the total coverage level which is expected to be between £2,000 and £10,000. We should see this in six - twelve months time.
