Companies join forces for safer online selling on Zoovys complete e-commerce platform

Zoovy, Inc., the only e-commerce software provider dedicated to increasing profitability for online sellers, today announced the company has signed a strategic partnership agreement with buySAFE, Inc., which offers one of the highest levels of protection from online purchase risks. buySAFEs credibility seal will be offered to Zoovys customers who meet a rigorous qualification standard, giving them significant competitive advantage. Buyers who purchase from those sellers are then given the confidence of a third party that will guarantee the transaction, making shopping online as safe and secure as any other marketplace.

"This best-of-class partnership completes another step in Zoovys pledge as a comprehensive e-commerce solution," said Zoovy CEO David Steel. "With this agreement, we offer our customers a credibility seal that will provide a sense of confidence to online shoppers that they will receive what they purchase or get their money back. This is particularly valuable for our non-name-brand sellers."

buySAFE offers the only service that enables approved sellers to present a credibility seal on their online product listings and issues a surety bond to financially protect the buyer in a transaction. buySAFE performs a rigorous qualification check on sellers and issues the buySAFE Seal only to the most reputable, trustworthy online merchants. Once an item is purchased, a surety bond from a trusted financial institution is issued through the buySAFE service. The bond guarantees a refund of the items sale price in the event that a bonded seller does not fulfill the terms of the sale. This protects consumers from certain online transaction risks such as fraud, misrepresentation, refund failure and seller default.

"By partnering with Zoovy, buySAFE will create safety and security for thousands of buyers and give a competitive edge to Zoovys qualified eBay sellers," said Jeff Grass, CEO of buySAFE. "Buyers are often hesitant about purchasing anything online because they never know how trustworthy the person on the other end of the sale is. buySAFE eliminates that doubt with a mark signifying reliability and a financial guarantee."

Zoovys integrated technology platforms enable online sellers to automate and simplify the entire cycle of their sales process. In addition, Zoovy was recently named a charter member of eBays Certified Provider program. The program recognizes technology innovators that service eBay sellers and keeps its members up to date on eBays newest features and changes.
