Ebay becomes full-scale booking platform
Cultuzz impresses with its own checkout solution for eBay, 01 Feb 2010

With over 250 million registered users and a trading volume of more than USD 60 billion per annum, eBay is the largest marketplace in the world. However, eBay was previously only of limited suitability for the sale of holidays or hotel stays because the system lacked a booking facility. Now Cultuzz Digital Media has developed its own checkout solution and integrated it into the eBay purchase procedure. This not only enables users to buy a voucher for the offers listed but also to carry out booking at the same time. eBay is thus becoming a full-scale booking platform for travel services.

Thanks to the new checkout solution by Cultuzz, the online sale of travel offers via eBay is increasing in importance. Cultuzz has thus sold some 750'000 hotel accommodation packages on 20 eBay markets worldwide for its hotel customers. Cultuzz is proud of being one of only eleven suppliers in the world to have been granted the right by eBay to adapt the eBay checkout process to its own requirements. Within the travel categories, Cultuzz is the only provider worldwide able to display the current availabilities of a listing and enable direct booking from the hotel's inventory after the purchase.
