New Delhi, Apr 27 (PTI) E-commerce company Flipkart on Wednesday announced a slew of changes in its policy for sellers, including reduction in payment settlement cycle and low return cost for performing sellers.

The company claims to have put in place an easy product listing process by introducing an automated solution which converts any product image to Flipkart-standard quality on the go.
Flipkart said that the new payment policy is aimed at easing the liabilities for sellers and freeing up their working capital.
"Flipkart will now process seller payments in 7-10 days from dispatch, making it the fastest and most predictable payment settlement platform," the statement said.
Earlier the payment settlement cycle was 15 days from the date of dispatch, Harode said.
He said that the company will soon roll out a system to ensure low return cost for performing sellers.
Flipkart said that it is going to guarantee growth for new sellers based on their capability to serve consumers, where a guaranteed return on investments on advertisement spends for the right customer inputs will boost sellers' visibility and make it easier for them to scale up their businesses.
