The last part in a 5 Part exclusive series that explains the major differences between eBay and DubLi. This article talks about two major differences between eBay and DubLi: customer credits and DubLi Reward Points. Firstly, DubLi is based on a credit system. Customers purchase credit that in turn allows them to purchase items from the Shopping Mall or to make bids in their reverse auctions. eBay does not go on a credit system, but a purely cash to cash system. Secondly, another major difference between eBay and DubLi is the Rewards Program. You’ve heard all about reward points on your credit cards, Air Miles, free travel points and cash credits, but did you know that DubLi provides its own Reward Points and Rewards Mall to redeem great cash cards? These are two major differences between eBay and DubLi that we will discuss in this article.

The Differentiation between eBay and DubLi – Credit Based Shopping System
eBay is an open auction site for any seller and any buyer to make transactions. It is one of the largest e-commerce online auction trading sites in the world and now has millions of members. However, there difference between eBay and DubLi, the next generation of online shopping, is that DubLi relies on a credit based shopping system. These proprietary ‘DubLi credits’ are purchased by members (customers) who in turn, use them towards the reverse auction and purchasing products and items through the Shopping Mall. The difference between eBay and DubLi shopping is astounding, as the credit based system allows DubLi to integrate their own Rewards Mall. Each time a customer makes a purchase, they receive DubLi Reward Points that can be used to exchange for gift cash cards or even cash out. This credit based online shopping portal is a major difference between eBay and DubLi, and to the customer, it’s more reliable and better designed. Also, what this credit based shopping system does is that it gives the DubLi customer more guarantees and more confidence knowing that all products and items that are sold through the credit system are new, unopened, and guaranteed products with warrantees and shipping. The difference between eBay and DubLi is this so-called ‘guarantee’. As the eBay scams became prevalent in their auctions, eBay actually began cracking down on sellers last June without making any news releases to the public. What they did wrong was firstly to allow for eBay scams to take place and secondly, not to inform all eBay sellers about the new policies and rules that were imposed. Small sellers in the bottom 2% of sales volume and amounts were wiped out, while large sellers (some of which are eBay scam artists) won. Phillip Justus, Senior Vice President eBay Auctions made a formal apology months later. So the difference between eBay and DubLi is also communication. DubLi communicates directly with its customers, merchants and business associates, whereas eBay tries to allow direct seller to buyer communication, and in many times, this doesn’t work and becomes frustrating.

The DubLi Rewards Program – Huge Differentiation to the Customer’s Benefit
As mentioned before, a very big difference between eBay and DubLi is the fact that the latter provides a customer Rewards Program, much like a Customer Appreciation point system. Buy purchasing any retail item online through respected and well established companies such as Apple, DELL, JEEP, Starbucks, Aeropostale and thousands more, DubLi customer earn Reward Points. These DubLi Reward Points is a major difference between eBay and DubLi in that customers are rewarded each time they make a purchase online. These customer appreciation reward points can be used in the DubLi Rewards Mall that includes awesome Gift Cards, Cash Cards in addition to Prepaid MasterCards through the BSP Load system. The big difference between eBay and DubLi is that the more you buy, the more points you earn, and in the end, these Reward Points are just like cash, giving you more discounts and better deals on virtually any item you wish to buy. Not only that, but another big difference between eBay and DubLi is that these Reward Points can be donated to the DubLi Charity, a set of carefully selected charities and non-profit organizations for a great cause.

The differences between these two online shopping giants are profound. There is no doubt that this debate will remain for years to come. The underlying issues include price, security, rewards, and excitement and guess what? DubLi comes out on top in every aspect of the debate. However, we’re confident that eBay and DubLi will duke it out for years to come, and with a nine hundred per cent growth in internet shopping over the past 3 years, it is likely that both companies will see significant growth in the near future. With more customer research, better products, great prices, both eBay and DubLi will likely lead the age of consumerism online.
