Hi. My first time on the discussion board. I listed something internationally but it isn't showing up when I search on UK or US eBay. Is there something I should be doing? It's been a few days now so there's been plenty of time for it to go through.

I don't know what else to do! Does anyone have any other ideas? Should I just delete the listing and start again??
Here it is...

In order for your listings to be visible on international sites, you need to meet certain requirements. The main ones are at least 10 feedback for selling, and your first successful sale is at least 90 days old, so I'm afraid until you build up some selling history, your items can't be viewed on other sites at all (with the exception being a specific item number search, which only people who can view the listing can see).
@ chris.pouch - try revising your postage options to specify custom locations.
When you get to the international postage section, select the 'custom location' option for flat rate, tick United States then enter the postal rate, then click 'offer additional service' to do the same for the UK, then offer another service for the worldwide flat rate. I know it seems redundant if the P&H cost is the same, but to give your items the best chance (eBay don't guarantee it) of being visible on other sites, each location needs to have its own quote. Also, I have no idea how much your pouches weigh, but it looks like they'll go as a large letter. If the total weight of item and package will be over 50 grams, the P&H cost to most international locations is $6.45.

I just viewed about 20 of your listings and they are all 'post to Australia'
not worldwide
to listsell worldwide you have to click on the International Selling agreement, and list the postage for the countries you post to

Hi 🙂
I have the same problem. My listing shows up on ebay.com.au but not ebay.com. Where is this 'International selling agreement' you are taking about? I have set up all my international postage options (set to 'worldwide) but I can't find any other links that pertain to international listing or selling agreements.
Thanks in advance for any help...!

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to look. I have only one item listed for international selling to learn by: 'roll-up tobacco pouch packet pouch'. I have a brother who lives in the UK. I asked him to search and see if it comes up. He said when he searches the specific name it comes up but when he just searches 'tobacco pouch' it doesn't. Is there any way I can make the search more efficient?

Of course using the full title has yours at the top of the page as yours is the only one worded just like that, searching by only tobacco pouch there are thousands, yours will no doubt be there somewhere.
Are you aware that under the new ebay picture policy you should not include anything that is not included in the sale in your photo? Your picture is also very blurred, you need to sharpen your image, if it is flat enough and you have a scanner then that usually gives you the best results.

Ok. You're right. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll fix the photos

checked the listing and it says only posts to Australia

I only have one listing international. Brown pouch with checkered strap. I just did one because, I really don't know what I'm doing yet but I will be listing more international and make some changes in the wording here and there maybe. I appreciate you looking. I make these and would really like to make enough to supplement my retirement, which is not that far away.
