    Why I can add items from French Ebay?

    I found some interesting items from French Ebay. Seller send only to France, but it is no problem, I have membership to ColisExpat and that means that I have French address I can use. I have tried to add items to basket, but I can´t. I tested several items, same thing every time. Have you an idea what could be the problem?

    @jukkahoo,

     

    If you shop with your default/primary address set to the U.S. one while logged in on the French site, you will not be able to add the French items to your cart or buy from the listing, if the seller does not ship to the U.S.. 

    You have to change your default/primary address from the U.S. one to your ColisExpat one. Before logging in to the French site.   Then you have to remember to switch your primary address back to the U.S. address when shopping on the U.S. site, so you are not blocked by sellers who only ship to U.S. addresses. 

     

    Do keep in mind when using a freight forwarding service that your Item Not Received protections end at the freight forwarder's address, once there is a Delivered scan.   If an item is lost between them and your domestic address you are out of luck.
