ebay opting me into ebay international shipping (EIS) - how do I opt out?

[2010byandsel100]

Ebay just informed me that I will be opted into EIS

I do not use GSP and do not want to use EIS either

as soon as I receive their notice, I want to opt out

where do I go to do that?   

BTW:  why call it opt when I apparently have no 'opt'

go to your preferences page

https://www.ebay.com/ship/prf

Go to My Ebay, Summary.  Select Account Tab, then Shipping Preferences.  Then unenroll from EIS.  (This is on a PC - not sure where you do this on a phone app.)

Thanks so much (I am on a pc too)

want to be ready to cut this off at the pass!

Just curious?.  Why do people want to opt out of this?  Other than a small international fee, shipping to an ebay fulfilment center is great.  According to ebay (I got the same notice) as long as I get the item there, that's where my job ends.

When it first started, I read a lot of complaints from buyers that it was much more expensive and they were skipping GSP listings. 

I have no problem shipping with USPS even though it costs me a buck or two more.

Like others, I too today recieved the notice. Looks like another daily "to do" task, as I want NOTHING to do with eBay shipping. Thank you very much eBay, but I am more than capable handling all of my shipping needs.

Ditto

We got the same message on 3/7 and went to the page you linked, and no 'EIS' - just 'GSP' - We also have re-checked that page and what's shown as international shipping on different active listings and it's still usps, so not changed. So we have to wait and check back to see when they add it so we can turn it off?

I thought that they only opted in sellers if they were already using the gsp or did not have any international shipping. If the seller already international shipping set up on their listings using USPS they aren't supposed to be opted in to EIS are they? Some of the posters here already are using USPS international.

Many cannot 'opt' out, or the 'opt out' doesn't work, or even MORE IMPORTANTLY, maybe a seller wants items under $XX to ship internationally, but not items over $XX. 

So, just 'bulk edit' the items you do NOT want to be available for International Buyers through the EIS program (can't stop forwarders, that's another story)- then just 'exclude' all 218 countries all in one fell swoop.

My listings are set up with USPS international and biz policies but I got the opt in notice on March 7th. Been checking every day so I can opt out. So far my ship preferences page still says: Global Shipping Program - Not enrolled. @pjcdn2005 

"You’ll soon be among the newest group of sellers to be enrolled in eBay International Shipping.

We’ll let you know when your enrollment is complete, so keep an eye on your inbox. Once you’re in, you’ll see this new program as the international shipping service on your new eligible listings.

We’re excited for you to experience the added benefits of eBay International Shipping."

They lied.

I've never used GSP and all my IDs got "opted in"

Keep a eye on it.  I opted out 2 weeks ago because my international buyers was complaining how much it was.  It took 2 days to complete the opt out process.  Last night someone opted me back in!!  I was furious and called ebay, they tried to tell me they have no ability to do that and it was someone on my end.  Im the only one that runs the store and I did not do it!  So now Im waiting for it to complete again.  😡
