But this time its giving me this error saying "Not allowed to sell internationally". But I DONT want to sell internationally. in my postage details I have selected "No International postage" and just selected "Standared Delivery" under domastic postage. I dont know why I'm getting this error. Please help.

Is there an option to enter International postage? If so you need to click on the add/remove options link and untick the box asking if you want to display international delivery.

Also make sure that you are actually on the Au site when you start the listing, it is not unknown for people to migrate onto the US site without realising, especially if they have been posting on the boards.

I hope you are aware of the fact that even within Australia you cannot post a phone or anything else containing a lithium battery in a prepaid satchel but must send it regular small parcel with a road only sticker on it.

FURPHY: You cannot use prepaid satchels to send lithium batteries: FURPHY

Australia Post does accept pre-paid satchels containing lithium batteries as long as the batteries are packaged in accordance with their advice, the declaration is not signed, and the satchel is clearly marked ROAD TRANSPORT ONLY.

Are you listing via the eBay app, or the mobile view ??

Thanx everyone for your replies. I chat to ebay about the issue and found that my account is under US site, and they then trnsfer it back to AU. No idea how it happend since I have sold few items in AU through ebay before.

And then eBay support also ask me to change my currency to AUD from USD. Anyways now everythings working fine.

Well, that was a fabulous contribution to a 2yo dead thread. Was there any need to dredge up a dead thread with that rather informative post you wrote?

Tippy, I suspecr deshan may be having the same problem I've been having lately - after I have finished reading a thread and click on 'message lsting' instead of automatically returning me to page 1 the system can throw me back to any random page on the board. If deshan is not regular poster he/she may not have noticed that they hadn't been returned to the current page.

Well, there you go, I've never noticed that message listing link before! I've always just hit the back button. I'll have to click on that link to see what it does!

Edited to add: I just clicked on it and it took me to page 229. What is the point of that?! I suppose, this is eBay we're talking about 😄

My account is under the U.S. site, because thats where I signed up years ago when I was in the U.S...... and Ive never had that problem.

Thats curious. Ebay asked me if it was ok for them to change my account to Australia, when I asked them about something COMPLETELY unrelated, and I said no, as there was absolutely no reason for them to do so, at least from my end, and they wouldnt tell me why they wanted to do that.

I wonder if that has something to do with the Aussie tax requests more than it actually causing your problem.

Guess it doesnt matter if its working now anyway.
