AUSSIES INNOVATE E-COMMERCE

A

Queensland based businessman and Powerseller Executive Chairman, James O?Leary has a message for small businesses:  ?If you?re not making the transition from bricks and mortar to online sales, you will be left behind, but Powerseller.com.au can help you!?

Four years ago James and Wayne Aarons (Executive Director) started the process of developing an e-commerce solution where merchants would be able to ?sell online for free? and pay no payment gateway fees*, with consumers enjoying “total peace of mind”.  James wanted to tackle online fraud head on and provide consumers with a safer alternative, rather than buying from complete strangers online, parting with their money first and hoping they receive their goods.  Powerseller.com.au provides an exclusive bank supported escrow service where buyers funds are held in escrow and are protected by a 100% money back guarantee.  “Our patentable Escrow technology is highly sophisticated and able to integrate with leading banks, shipping aggregators and third party applications; this is cutting edge technology”.

Powerseller, after a long, complex and expensive process, is already signing up merchants. 

James continued:  ?We have a unique and very exciting e-commerce solution where verified merchants can establish free online stores, pass on significant fees savings and sell competitively online with confidence; consumers can also expect a better deal from Powerseller merchants and pay cheaper prices with absolutely no risk.”  Explaining further, James said, ?Any merchant, large or small, can have a free online store through Powerseller; to be accepted, they will be bank verified by Westpac which gives them online credibility nationwide and in turn allows consumers to buy from them in confidence.” 

The company is now launching in the Australian market in time for Xmas trading and also plans to launch in the US next year.  ?Powerseller owns an extensive intellectual property portfolio including registered trademarks in four countries and is considering in which countries to apply for registration of our international patent. It’s exciting times ahead and we are looking forward to launching the company in the US from San Jose (CA)? said James.  Powerseller is listed on the Australian Small Scale Offerings Board (ASSOB).
