Hello Friends, It had been almost 8 months when I had started selling on Ebay and I must say its lot of fun.I had started this business on ebay after passing my engineering entrance and I must say it is the best part time job in India.I will not share my ebay id otherwise it will be considered self promotion by the Dimers.
After reading the thread made by Wikipedia,I come to know that dimers are still noobs in ebay selling, so I decided my make my own thread and help other dimers who want to start their business on Ebay.As I have a good experience of selling and also have contacts with higher authorities of ebay,I am sure I can provide solution to any problem relating to ebay selling.
Hope my thread is not against any policies of Desidime.
Some tips for becoming a good seller on Ebay :-
1.Treat your customers like a new born baby,you must always agree with their views.Also don’t lose your temper easily, you temper will destroy your business and reputition on Ebay. 
2.Always be ready to process refund for the item you sold.There is a possibility that the item may get stolen or damaged in the transit.Ebay is not responsible for any kind of damage done by your Logistic Services. 
3.Item sold must be shipped within 48 hours and shipping details must be provided to the buyers.When buyers see the shipping details they get excited and start thinking about the product in their dreams. 
4.Don’t argue with your buyers if they want to return the product.Always make them feel that their money is safe and also your policy should be to provide money back or replacement in case of a return for atleast 7 days after the product is delivered. 
5.Avoid the situation of Ebay Claims, as ebay will never takes side of a seller. 
Ebay Powership :-
Ebay powership, as everyone here must know is the Logistic Service provided by ebay in which ebay orders are shipped through 1st Class Courier Companies such as Fedex ( My Favourite ) , Bluedart and Aramex.
This service is only provided to the sellers with more than 97 % positive feedback with min. feedback of 50.To enroll in this program a user must sign up an agreement with ebay.Ebay provides his packing material at Rs.2 per packing ( Small , Medium or Large ).The powership charges within the city are Rs.29 ( including taxes ) and for National Delivery the rate is Rs.45 ( including taxes ) for 500gms parcel.
Pros :-
1.Most of the parcels are delivered in 2-3 days and ebay live tracks the delivery of the parcel, so no need of buyer to confirm receipt,means fast re-emittance.
2.Parcels are handled very carefully as they are sent through Top Class Courier Companies.
3.Even if any damage takes place in transit, full amount of the damaged product is paid by Courier Company.
4.Home Pickup Service is awesome.Just mark the item ready to ship and make a call to your LSP.They can even pick your parcels in the midnight, if you order them too.
5.Fast shipping discount is also provided by ebay if item is shipped in 48 hours of transaction.
6.Delivery time extends from 5 days to unlimited.
Cons:-
1.Many times a parcel is weighted wrongly and it takes much time to get your money back.
2.Many parcels travel in volumetric weight instead of original weight,means you have to pay much more.
3.If even the buyer lives in your neighbourhood you have to ship the item through powership.
4.You cannot sell recharges as if recharges move to powership category it will be necessary to ship them. 
5.Many categories are not supported under powership.For them you have to ship through your own tie-ups.

As you are from hyd, can you give some companies/franchise, that charge this amount and min volume they need?
I am referring to non-docs as well as air mode of shipping.
this will benefit some people i know and hence checking.
and to clarify – i am referrign to the final prices including fuel surcharges, taxes etc. etc.
if you are referring to just invoice pricing without all these surcharges and taxes, thats very much possible.
6months back i had word with one of dtdc’s branch manager , he said 40rs for national

6months back i had word with one of dtdc’s branch manager , he said 40rs for national
i got it, they will add surcharge and other taxes on the monthly bill, which will add up to 40%.
though i stopped selling, i am still in touch with the dtdc guy that we dealt with and 40/- overall price for 500grams is impossible unless and until you are a national player with huge volume of orders.
in courier, there are different zones:
within city
within state
southzone
metros
rest of india
northern states (they have some name for this)
atleast dtdc followed this when we were giving them orders
rates differ from zone to zone.

this is not possibel as, you need TIN or VAT number on the bill for manufacturer to serve warranty.
the only thing you can do is, provide the original bill and put your profit amount as convenience charge to buyer
EDIT: IF you do have TIN/VAT, then you will have to pay additional tax on your sales, so its loss or atleast will minimize your profit, if you have to go the legal way.

If you want best rates.
Just register on their website DTDC / Professional / Bluedart /Fedex for an account, their sales guy will call you and give you best prices.
Not to forget.. the minimum billing criteria which the companies have.
Professional and DTDC has less minimum billing..
Fedex and Bluedart will ask for more.

IMO.. Drop shipping is impractical in India.

No, it will be very risky for you…..Shopclues and Snapdeal are E-Commerce and not Drop Shipping.There are many risks in using E-Commerce sites as Drop Shipping Site :-
1.If the seller of the website does not follow eBay’s timeline.
2.If the seller send wrong product/damaged product to your customer.
3.If buyer declines that he received the item.
4.Wat about the bill ?
