Mr. D. Singh, a commerce graduate heard about Baazee while participating in a survey on the internet. He sells through his Baazee id 'DK_Impex'. Says Mr. Singh, "I have lots of friends in Delhi, Kolkata and other major cities in India. I took some products from them and put them up on Baazee and soon started getting orders. The best thing about selling on Baazee is that one doesn't require infrastructure to start the business. I can sell my products from my living room sitting in my night suit. I don't have to wear a tie and go to office. My wife helps me in packing and I have a courier service to deliver the packages. It keeps me financially secure and gives me sufficient time for my religious activities".
Vineet and Shikha, a husband and wife couple, have been selling on Baazee through their Baazee id 'Superauctionseller'. Mrs. Shikha Chowdhary, a former lawyer and now a housewife started selling on Baazee to keep herself busy. She started with selling jewellery and has now moved on to cameras and is even selling the Bhagwad Gita online.
Shikha says, "I first started selling rare Hyderabadi pearls. I had seen them at an exhibition and liked them, so I spoke to the seller and started sourcing them from him to sell on Baazee. Selling on Baazee gives me financial support. I am looking at placing more and more products to increase my sales. My husband, Vineet is quite supportive of my Baazee business & helps me with the online activity."
Vineet, a management consultant adds, "We have also tied up with a friend of mine who is a distributor for BenQ phones. I take photos & list them on the site. As soon as I receive an order and the payment, I take the phone from my friend and send it to the customer".
Mr. Anuvrat Gupta, a computer hardware trader heard of Baazee through a friend. He started selling products from his offline shop on Baazee through his id 'aicc76'. and today has become a Super Seller.
Anuvrat says, "In my offline shop, I had buyers only from Chandigarh. Through Baazee, I have now been getting orders from all across India as well as abroad. I got an order for a printer from a buyer in Nigeria. Even today, I am in touch with him and he is very happy with the product. I also realized that there are quite a few products buyers like to buy online. I had some USB storage media, which had no buyers in Chandigarh. But, when I listed them on Baazee, I got an overwhelming response and I realized that there was huge demand for these products in other cities".
Sachin Sud runs an immigration agency in Ludhiana. He is a B.Com graduate and is successful in his business. Sachin heard of Baazee from Mr. Anuvrat Gupta, a Super Seller on Baazee, who explained the entire sales process to him. Sachin started sourcing toys like planes and remote control gadgets that are not available in the local market as well as jewellery from importers and listed them on Baazee. He sells through his Baazee Id : 'canamkhana'
Sachin says, "I started selling on Baazee as a part time business, but now it has become full time. By selling on Baazee I have financial security, as Baazee business is 24 x 7, 365 days a year. It has increased my horizons and also creates a lot of excitement as people actually buy from this online marketplace. I get a lot of orders for the flying machines, as they are not available in the local market. I get these products from my friends who import them to India."
Anurag Chopra has a software company and also provides a library service to the people of Chandigarh. Anurag also has a distributorship for CDs like 'How to pass the MBA entrance exam' / 'BE, MBBS Entrance Exam' etc. His Baazee id is 'aanuragc'
Anurag says, "Students today are very ambitious and have to work really hard to clear these entrance exams. This is one product that they all need. I have been selling this in Chandigarh and it has been doing fairly well. In order to expand our business and make this available to students across the country, we decided to try out Baazee. I've received a very good response from all across the country thanks to Baazee, which has such a vast network."
Mr. Avnish Bajaj, Country Manager, Baazee.com says, "Recognizing the growing awareness and the increasing volume of business transactions happening through the Internet, we at Baazee aim to provide a safe and convenient environment for online trading.
