Item not populating on ebay site outside of US
How long does it normally take for an item listed on Ebay in the US to show up on other ebay sites worldwide, specifically the UK? I googled and it says within 24 hours, but how long is it typically? Can a UK buy simply log onto the US ebay site and make the purchase? I posted something a UK buyer wants and expected it to show for them on Ebay.UK but it has been close to three hours at this point and i still don't see in on ebay.uk. I'd hate for someone else to come in and snatch it up before at appears for them, but if they can just as easily buy it on the US site and nothing would be different with payment, protection, international shipping program, etc, then I'll tell them to just do it that way.

These are EIS blocks, some make sense and some don't, some are valid and some are not. This is how EIS works, they block by categories and keywords and they make tons of mistakes.
Your listings on various eBay sites:
Canada - 187
UK - 161
Australia - 184
Germany - 164
Italy - 184
France - 183
Poland - 183
Spain - 184
USA - 192
This variation in numbers is normal for EIS. I am not at all surprised that the UK & Germany has the highest amount of blocked listings.

if you go to that clock listing and click on the see more shipping........get the list of countries to ship to......UK is not on the list.
Checking a few of your other listings.....UK is there.
That makes me think EIS is blocking the listing for shipping, so it wouldn't be shown in the UK for sale..but don't know the reason for the block......
That theory doesn't work......it will ship to many other countries. You could delve into UK import restrictions to see if there is something there that is causing a block.....
Also just a heads up......you id it as NEW.....but say in the description that the manual is missing.....check the ebay definition of NEW.......that could cause a NAD claim.......

OP4 months agoI googled and some said it could be because local pickup might be an option but I checked and that is not it because I do not have that option checked. It seems that the UK buyer must have been able to see my old listing(that I ended and sold similar on) because they tried buying and could not, I was thinking because I had USPS ground advantage selected as the primary service on my listing policy. I changed it to standard shipping and relisted but it is not showing up, at least not yet. So is it normal for it to take a super long time to show on other ebay sites outside the US?

OP4 months agoReally? Yes it is the clock... what in policy prevents and item like that from shipment to the UK?
