International Shipping
I don't know which service im suppose to use. Everything is either USPS priority or UPS Worldwide Expedited, UPS Standard to Canada and USPS First Class Package International. I've been told to use eBay International Shipping but I don't see it? is that even a service or am I getting words mixed up? Or do I only need to use USPS priority mail in order to ship things out internationally? For more info i'm from Minnesota.
And how does shipping work? Do I do calculated shipping or flat rate? How do I know the shipping cost etc.
Im very new to this and I would like some help. Thanks!

Mentor11 months agoIn order to use ebay International Shipping, you have to opt into it and then create your listing. If you sell your item to an international buyer, you will ship to the ebay huib in Glendale Heights, IL (but there are others). They will collect the international shipping and customs from the buyer, and create the customs form. Your obligation ends when the package is Delivered to the hub. They will take care of any problems if any arise.
If you do not opt into ebay International Shipping, you will be shipping directly to your buyer. Use USPS International First Class or Priority.
I suggest using calculated shipping. ebay will calculate the shipping cost from your zip code to the buyer's zip code, so it is important to have an accurate weight for the packaged item, as well as the dimensions of the package when you create the listing.
