14.11.2022

During the eBay's Exporter of the Year 2022 award ceremony, Ukrposhta received the Rising Star honour in the Emerging Markets region, which includes 150 countries.

The award recognizes the seller who has achieved the most impressive sales results in the first year of launching their online store. It is worth noting that Ukrposhta became the first national postal operator in the world to launch its online store on the international eBay marketplace and received the status of a top-rated seller within a few months of launching sales. On the online store platform, anyone from anywhere in the world can buy original products from Ukrposhta: stamps, envelopes, cards, postal sets, branded T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs, etc.

"Ukrposhta is a national post office that delivers goods around the world for 12 thousand Ukrainian manufacturers who are active sellers on the platform. Even during the full-scale war, Ukrposhta also opened its store. "We are grateful to eBay for the opportunity to represent us on the world stage and receive a high expert assessment of our work. Such recognition demonstrates the decent level of Ukrposhta's work, high customer appreciation and encourages us to achieve the highest performance, development and improvement. I am grateful to the eBay team for their support at the stage of launching the store and for the opportunity to make sales around the world easily and quickly," commented Igor Smelyansky, CEO of Ukrposhta.

As a reminder, Ukrposhta opened its official online store on eBay in May this year to allow customers from all over the world to order Ukrainian patriotic stamps and merchandise. In 5 months, the company has sent more than 5 thousand orders worth more than UAH 7.5 million to eBay buyers from around the world through this sales channel alone. The opening of Ukrposhta's official online store on eBay was supported by Disqover Agency and Payoneer.

It is also worth noting that Ukrposhta is number one in international delivery, supporting national exporters and delivering international shipments from Ukraine around the world since the first days of the war. In recent months, Ukrainian sales volumes have been uninterrupted and have reached almost 100% of the pre-war level, which demonstrates the effectiveness of Ukrposhta's interaction with Ukrainian sellers and the potential of domestic producers. Today, Ukraine is among the top 5 markets of eBay's Global Emerging markets office, which is responsible for the development of the platform in 150 countries.

eBay is one of the largest trading platforms that unites more than 17 million sellers and 142 million active buyers in 190 countries. Sales of goods through eBay last year amounted to $87 billion.
