Listing on US ebay. HOW?

lenixyz — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 07:35:41 GMT

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to list on US ebay and allow aussies to buy as well as worlwide? If I try to list on US, (my account is registered in AUS) everything's fine until I get to the shipping part, where I have to pick a US shipping service (theres no aust post in the listing) so ALL my postage looks like it is going to be sent via Fed Ex or USPS, which is fine if item is going to US but what if it's going to Sydney? And when I preview the listing, it says "shipping $10.00 vis Fed Ex Standard". There's nowhere I can include an AUS postage preference for the Aussie buyers. Am I missing something? Or is there a little trick I have not learned yet as far as listing goes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

All you can do is use flat rate postage. Are you aware that if you list on the US site then you will come under the ebay seller protection policy rather than the Aus Paypal scheme so will have to not only prove that you have sent an item but that it has also been delivered. You will also have to pay FVFs on the total cost including postage. Your payments will go into your Paypal account in US$ and you will have to pay a conversion fee to change them to AU$ to withdraw to your bank account.

Wouldn't it be much simpler for you to list on Australian eBay and simply stipulate 'Worldwide' postage as well as domestic? As long as you offer international postage then your listings will be seen on overseas eBay sites.

brand new sellers with (0) have 'international selling' restrictions until they reach a certain number of feedbacks

a new ebayer with zero experience in aust is really going to find selling on ebay usa or UK very difficult, I think
