Could we get more granularity in the First Class International destinations country list please?
I want to offer First Class International shipping to all my buyers in *all* the countries that support the Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation for First Class. But eBay only explicitly specifies these destination countries for First Class International: Canada, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Germany, France, Russia, China, Japan, Australia.
The following counties all support E-DELCON, could they be added to the list please? Belarus, Belgium, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Gibraltar, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey.
This would help my international sales enormously.

·2 years agoProbably why they are not included:
First-Class Mail International, and First-Class Package International Service are not available for items requiring an Export License under U.S. Law

OP2 years agoNo, that's not the reason. It applies to all items. It is not item specific. I can specify "All countries in Europe" for First Class International but I don't want to do that because Andorra (for example) doesn't support Delivery Confirmation but Belgium does. I want to offer First Class International to *all* countries that support Delivery Confirmation, and to zero countries that don't offer Delivery Confirmation.

·2 years agoAll you have to do @jonesing-for-it is select Worldwide, then set up exclusions to exclude all countries not on the e-delcon list.

OP2 years agoThanks, but that doesn't solve the problem.
I want to offer First Class International to countries A, B, and C (the ones with e-delcon)
I want to offer Priority Mail International to all countries (because PMI always gets DC)
e.g. I want to exclude China from First Class, but not exclude China from Priority Mail. If I make China an excluded ship to country it will be excluded in both cases.

·2 years agoWhat does THAT mean?? If 'some' items cannot go this way, then this site will simply 'deny' all. It's an 'all or nothing' thing, otherwise the site would have to figure out which 1,000,000 things CANNOT go this way.
So...you have to do it as @wastingtime101 stated.

OP2 years agoThe item being shipped is irrelevant (as I said). That is 100% not the issue.

·2 years agoWould an international rate table work? Or does that still limit your ship to options?
jonesing-for-it
OP2 years agoI don't think that would solve the problem. To further complicate things, I can only use First Class International if the parcel is not too large, or too heavy, and I won't ship something $1000+ by First Class International regardless. This means an eBay shipping policy can't work.
I need:
IF the parcel is less than a cubic foot AND the parcel weighs less than 4lbs AND the value is less than $1000 AND the country is one 43 countries that support e-delcon, THEN offer First Class International, ELSE offer Priority Mail International. I can't figure out how to get eBay to do this. It would be good if the listing creation page had an expanded option to choose from all countries, then I could set that up once and copy that listing forever more.

That would be handy but their international shipping page has always been wonky like that.
I wasn’t referring to a shipping policy but to a shipping rates ‘table’. I’ve never used one and don’t know exactly how they are set up but it is something that you use for just some listings.

·2 years agoI agree with the op, the problem isn’t the type of item. The op could set it up so that all items to all countries could go first class. The system isn’t set up to reject items based on the international service being used, if the seller is shipping directly.
The problem is the way eBay has set up the international section. Instead of being able to check off specific countries that you want to ship to it gives a very limited list of some countries and continents and ignores others. It’s basically set up backwards.
