Thanks for the link, still not seeing anything that says DDP is mandatory in the document sections you've uploaded here, but I suppose I'm just not that bright. I'm also not seeing anything in any of that that states it is Executive Order 14324. From what I'm reading the snipped bits you've shared outline the both the actual and potential fall out from the order, and how carriers/countries will be able to deal with it.
I was, however, able to find the full document you clipped some of your inclusions from, which I'm providing here so others can read it in full if they so choose. You're right the language is quite ambiguous, but the words "mandatory", "DDP", "delivery duty paid" do not appear anywhere in the document.
Coming back to the actual topic at hand, I stand by my original position. At this point in time, the language on the ebay listings from international sellers is pretty clear. If it's "a lie", I will accept the lie until the language is corrected.
Furthermore, even if your interpretation of that document is correct, we still don't know how the OP is shipping (as in carrier), and advice telling him to tack on a flat rate to his shipments to the US will not remedy his problem. Many of his items are listed for amounts well in excess of 100.00 so he will need to go in and manually adjust each one of his listings by 15% in order to offset the DDP you are insisting he will be forced to use if he doesn't wish to just use the bulk edit tool to increase all of them by 15%, regardless of where he is shipping.
I do appreciate you taking the time to try elucidate why you think it is mandatory for other nations to ship "delivery duty paid" and posting the actual document sections that led you to this conclusion, so thanks again.
ETA: I am fully aware that this section...
does say that "carriers or other qualified parties will be required to collect duties", but it doesn't specify who the "qualified parties" are. I see no reason why ebay itself may not be the qualified party, which will ultimately result in the very scenario I described in my original post in this thread.
I provided all the links, including to the Federal Register. All you had to do was copy and paste, and then read for yourself.
eBay only collects import fees into the USA for sellers in the UK using the Global Shipping Programme, or in Canada using the eBay International Shipping. In both cases, they collect the import fees at checkout, so they can be paid in advance, and it says that:
"This item will be sent through eBay's Global Shipping Program.Includes international tracking, simplified customs clearance, and no extra charges at delivery.Learn more"
eBay does not collect duty or import fees at delivery.
Let me make sure I understand: You, as a seller, want to increase your prices on shipments to the USA "because of the customs"?
Are you aware that buyers in the US are already being charged customs/tariffs on most international purchases? You, the seller, are not the one who's paying those, the buyers are. Your costs of selling have not been increased "because of the customs".
HOWi can increase theprices to all usa BY 15% because of the customs.
Thank you.
@av12ha
If you want to increase prices for deliveries to the USA only, then you need to increase the domestic shipping cost on your listings. That is the only way to have the increase only affect transactions that are delivered to the USA.
With the same situation, I returned to listing all my new material on dotCA, my home site, and use eIS to ship internationally. This automatically charges US customers the appropriate tariff.
My older dotCOM listings most of which were Free Shipping, are now Flat Rate $10, while my domestic (Canada) remain at $0.00 and overseas are $9.99.
* You want 15% but the arithmetic on that is beyond me. The system does not change.
You want to increase prices because of customs fees? That seems rather unwise as all incoming packages (to the US) from international sellers are already being charged those fees by ebay. Your sales are definitely going to be negatively affected if you AND ebay start charging additional fees. You can increase or decrease your prices in bulk by going to bulk listing page.
If you want to see whether you've been paid, you can go to your Payments tab and review your transactions there.
How is eBay charging the buyer import fees? Only Canada, USA , and UK have eIS /GSP which does this.
Some sellers are using DDU/DDP shipping, is that what you mean?
If the import fees are not prepaid, since the de minimus $800 duty free allowance has been dropped, the buyer will be paying those import fees on delivery.
The problem arises for non-US sellers listing on dotCOM.
Also, you may want to reread the OP's post, as he asked how to add 15% to his items, not how to add 15 dollars. 15% over his current prices is way more than 15 bucks.

Just because eBay says something, that doesn't mean it is true.
Anything that is shipped by a postal carrier to the USA has to be sent DDP (delivered duty paid) so the seller has to pay the duty when the item is shipped.
Some commercial carriers will still accept DDU (delivered duty unpaid) shipments, but sellers would not be well advised to use a service like that, because USA buyers will often refuse the pay the duty, and some carriers will deliver the item anyway. Even if they don't, they will charge the seller a very large fee to return the package, or else they will destroy it.
Buyers do not have to pay the import fees. They can simply refuse. They may or may not get their item anyway, but the sellers have to pay for it if the buyers don't. Some USA buyers don't care if they are unreasonable and are stealing from international sellers.
Okay, well as a US buyer/seller I wouldn't dream of buying the OP's items with that little blurb from ebay in the listing. I realize you are probably far more knowledgable about these matters, but this is the message that is clearly and prominently displayed by the ebay platform for US buyer/sellers at the present time. If ebay is lying to all of us, so be it, but I sure won't be buying from any international seller whose listings display that little blurb and who wants me to pay an additional 15% to cover costs that I may (or may not) also be hit with at the time of delivery.

Yes, eBay is lying to all of you, on this particular topic. This has been pointed out to eBay before. They are aware of it.
If you want to believe them, that is your choice. You can keep your head buried deep in the sand, if that's what you want to do.
You could try asking the USPS if they are collecting duty for imported packages that are valued below US$800. (They are not.)
I, personally, have already had to pay customs fees on a package from Italy so, at least for me, ebay hasn't lied. I just paid the fee because I wanted the item, but I will not be buying from an international seller again anytime soon.
I'm a little puzzled as to why you are in such a hurry to misdirect the OP. He asked a very simple question and he's been answered. As valuable as your opinions are, they directly contradict the written ebay policy.
ETA: The item I got hit with a duty on was a 90 dollar tarot deck, so well under the 800 deminimus threshold.
