International shipping to Russia

[rockcreeklane]

In the past week I accidentally noticed that under international shipping, "Offer another service, Additional ship to locations," the box for Russian Federation was checked on a listing. After checking my other listings I found that over half of them, about 40, also had the box checked. I certainly had never checked the box for Russia. I find this very strange in light of the current situation & Russia being cut off from most commerce with other countries. Just curious, anyone else notice this showing up on their listings?

If you check your ship to list before you post a  listing, you can add or remove any country you want.

The responders that answer questions here want to help you understand how resolve probelms you have with selling/buying/shipping on eBay, not  to discuss  why someone would want a particular country on their Additional Ship To Locations.

There have been similar reports recently

@wooden_flower- didn't you tag eBay about this on another post?

Yes, and I traded phone messages with a member of the eBay shipping team yesterday. So they are aware of the problem.  There is also a thread on the tech issues board with more members experiencing this problem.

I think the solution right now is to use bulk edit to set your listings back to the way you want them.

Thank you @wooden_flower

Messy right now, huh?

Yes, it seems something slipped when they were excluding Russian Federation from GSP and eBay international shipping.  The person that I traded messages with didn't indicate and solution - she was looking for more examples than the one I had tagged.

I don't think it is really an issue as far as shipping to RF, since you can't ship there anyway, but I don't know what it did to the rest of the GSP settings 😞
