Bringing Japan's "Hidden Assets" to 190 Countries Worldwide: Optimism Inc. Fully Launches "eBay Sales Agency" for Cross-border EC Setup in as Little as Two Weeks

Optimism Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yu Ohki), which operates digital marketing and cross-border e-commerce businesses, has officially launched its "eBay Sales Support Service," which utilizes eBay, one of the world's largest marketplaces, to provide end-to-end support for Japanese companies' overseas sales.

■ Background of Service Provision: Limits of "Domestic EC" and Potential of "Cross-border EC"

Due to the maturity of the domestic market and intensifying competition, many companies are facing pressure on their profit margins. On the other hand, driven by the tailwind of the weak yen and the global expansion of the recommerce (used goods) market against the backdrop of SDGs, Japanese products are attracting enthusiastic support from overseas. The reliability of "Used in Japan" is overwhelming, especially for cameras, luxury brands, hobbies, and traditional crafts.

However, when attempting to enter cross-border e-commerce, "language barriers," "anxiety about international shipping troubles," and "complex rules such as customs duties" become major obstacles. Optimism completely eliminates these challenges, providing an environment where Japanese companies can venture into the global market "as if delivering domestically."

■ Four Strengths of "eBay Sales Support Service"

Your tasks are only "data linkage" and "shipping"

Our specialized team handles everything from prompt English communication (negotiations with buyers) within 24 hours, creation of complex customs documents (invoices, etc.), selection of optimal carriers (DHL, FedEx, etc.) tailored to the product, to negotiation of return troubles. Clients only need to share product data, and after an order, simply pack and ship.

Marketing strategies and SEO measures for "selling"

Beyond mere translation and listing agency, we conduct market price research using tools like Terapeak and create creatives based on local search trends (SEO).

Reliable account health management

Our specialized team, well-versed in eBay's unique and complex rules, avoids suspension risks (account suspension) and fully handles claim responses and return negotiations.

Speedy launch in as little as two weeks

We take over all initial settings that often lead to frustration, such as account opening and Payoneer (payment) integration, enabling speedy market entry.

■ Support Achievements (Examples)

Akihabara Trading Card Shop: Escaped domestic price competition and achieved monthly eBay sales of 5 million yen in 2 months after starting sales.

Used Camera Specialty Store: Cross-border EC sales ratio exceeded 40%.

Brand Buyback Store: Achieved 300 overseas shipments per month.
