Not sure where to post this, but I was approached by this msg from someone on Ebay...I had an auction and got this msg posted as a question to one of the items I sold...sounds legit! yay!
Hello,
Please read below for further details about our company.
Index
i) Who we are.
ii) What our business is. Our mission.
iii) Why we need partnership and agent.
iv) What we sell. Volume.
v) How we ship the merchandise.
vi) How we transfer the money.
vii) What you do. Clear time. Fees.
viii) Current and future opportunities.
ix) Our contract.
x) How we resolve issues.
xi) Responsibilities.
i) Who we are.
We are company named ETD Inc. We are nationwide in Russia, our headquarters are
in Saint-Petersburg.
Our staff includes 135 people, we run 14 offices and 8 demo-rooms.
Currently we experience expansion and plan to enlarge our business.
ii) Our business. Mission.
We are a middle-scaled dealership company. Our mission is to sell and deliver
at a lower price than competitors can. We strive to make our customer satisfied
and happy with his purchase. In near future we plan to run our own producing
lines.
ETD is interested in new ideas, business partners, modern business solutions
and always does its best to optimize the whole business process. Our agents
seek for new opportunities and start great contracts with dealers of leading
trademarks.
Talented Russian and Ukrainan engineers work hard day by day to develop new
medical tools, devices and instruments. Since the government does not provide
them with enough financial possibilites, they are looking for support abroad.
We help them with that. Let's benefit together allowing society to use these
great inventions.
iii) Why we need partnership and agent.
We have checked with Paypal, they do not have Russia in their list of
countries. Our customers from neighbour countries state that it takes up to a
week to transfer funds from your account to a real bank account. It works much
faster in United States as PP was developed mainly for US customers. More, fee
it charges is greater for out-of-US countries.
As for checks and money orders, we can cash them here ourselves but banks
charge alot of money for such operation and they hold them for up to 1.5
months. All this makes such time range and fee schedule inacceptable for
healthy and efficient business, that's why we are ready to pay percentage to
agent. Completing financial turnover
and having more transactions is more important for us even if we earn a bit
less, than one transaction per month with convenient fee schedule.
This point is very important. Another thing is that having a representative in
USA will give us greater opportunities than if we did someting on our own. In
fact, if we decide to open our branch location ourselves - it will be very
complicated if even possible.
Having a local agent will simplify and make the whole procedure faster. This
is also an area of future discussions (topic viii).
iv) What we sell. Volume.
Our product range is very different. It varies from general consumer
electronics to agricultural machines i.e. tractors, spare parts etc. We do not
sell or distribute anything illegal or stolen. We guarantee the quality of our
goods. Our merchandise is provided with limited warranty.
Our feature is a 'know-how' product line. Virtually there are no analogues
worldwide or the prices are astronomic.
Volume. Once our partnership starts, we estimate transactions worth
$3,000..$15,000 per week. This number will raise in future. We plan to conduct
several deals per week (depending on demand and stock availability).
v) How we ship the merchandise.
We have pending contracts with shipping carriers like DHL, UPS, FedEx and
others. To ship larger items we use special means of delivery. We ship items
fast and fully insured.
vi) How the money is transferred.
Our common clearing tools in transactions are cash and domestic wire
transfers. Due to current expansion we will start accepting new forms of
payment: Paypal, Cashier's checks, Money Orders. It is very possible that in
the nearest future we will link our website to payment processor(s) to accept
credit cards directly.
To deliver funds to company we plan that you use Western Union and
international wire transfers.
vii) What you do. Clear time. Fees.
You will accept funds coming as a payment for our goods as:
- payment to your paypal account
- cashier's check/money order
After the funds are accepted and cleared you will then forward it to our
payment credentials minus the appropriate fees.
You get your 10 percent BEFORE you forward any money and AFTER it's in your
hand (after all withdrawing charges). It means if you withdrew $700 and have it
in cash you get $70 and send us $630 minus forwarding fees.
When we start our transactions, you will not need to market anything, to list
auctions for us, we will do it ourselves.
Also you won't need to handle the shipping process as it might cost additional
time and money.
We understand that it takes certain time to cash the check and withdraw funds
from paypal account.
ETD authorizes you to pay the fees at our expense (paypal fees, western union
fees, wire fees etc).
viii) Current and future opportunities.
When both parties (you and us) experience that we can do more, we will open an
establishment in your area (distributor office with hired staff), you will be
the candidate to manage the financial flows and control subordinates. This will
be reviewed further and the appropriate decision will be taken (of course if
you are interested to grow with us).
ix) Our contract.
We will provide you with our contract in Adobe PDF format or in Microsoft Word
DOC format to print out, sign and fax back to us.
x) How we resolve issues.
If something that was not mutually planned occurs we take all the appropriate
measures to eliminate the problem. This means that both parties act in an issue
resolution.
xi) Responsibilities.
We are responsible:
- sell the items and ship them in time. We will do our best to make it as good
as possible cutting off all possible delays.
- notify you of upcoming deals including amounts and payment method.
- cover additional charges and your service fee
You are responsible:
- forward the money in time.
- keep in touch and answer emails and phone calls.
- pay attention and expect the incoming sales.
Both parties are responsible:
- solve the problems that may arise.
- strive to increase efficiency of mutual transactions.
Please get back to us if you are interested to become a representative for ETD.
P.S. Our additional email is [email protected], you can also reply there.
Sincerely,
Elvis
