Blanja Review
Back in 2013 — together with Telkom Indonesia; eBay launched their online marketplace in Indonesia known as Blanja. Telkom is the biggest telecommunications provider in the country, both private & state-owned.
The site operates under the slogan “Terpercaya, Aman, Murah” in Indonesian meaning; Trusted, Cheap, Safe. And it’s used as a seller portal by thousands of Indonesian businesses; selling a wide range of items (see category list below).
A native English language version now exists which is intended to ease navigating the website (direct link above). Also many of the product descriptions are in English which makes shopping easy; especially for expats who are used to navigating the Indonesian-English webosphere. Account registration is in Indonesian only.
For a throughout complete English language shopping experience; customers may use an automatic translation add-on with their web browser.
Live chat support is available from monday to friday between 8am to 5pm. You can also send them email or contact them by phone during service hours.
The Blanja recommended payment method is PayPal and known globally. However cash on delivery (COD) is still the prevailing choice amongst local customers. Also most major credit & debit cards are supported as well as local internet banking.
The joint venture company named “PT. Metra Plasa” is headquartered in Jakarta, Indonesia and employs more than 200 personnel.

Show me cost in $
I did some research and seems it’s not possible to change currency to USD within the platform. So please, manually convert from Indonesian rupiah (IDR).
