Selling from Cape Verde Islands (Not being able to)

[og.a_37]

Hey! How is it going? I m from the country called Cape Verde Islands and I've been trying to sell on the platform for a while, but Cape Verde isn't on the list of countries eligible to sell.

For somebody who doesn't understand what exactly I'm referring to - this how it looks when trying to create a seller's account from Cape Verde (even though Payoneer is operating in Cape Verde without any issues and I'm using it pretty often to process different online payments and withdraw funds to a local bank):

 

I've created couple of requests before, for eBay support guys to add Cape Verde to that list, so that the people from my country could sell too, but almost a year has passed since my first request - and so far there are no changes.

Left a couple of suggestions through that official eBay "suggestions" form. Still nothing, months later.

I would like to request that again, here, in public eBay community, to add Cape Verde to the list of eligible to sell countries, so that Cape Verdeans would be able to list items and be the part of worldwide eBay community. It would be much appreciated not just by me, but by many people from my country!

As it makes no sense for a country simply not to be in that "countries eligible to sell" list and not being able to sell stuff online on eBay, while there's not a single problem with Payoneer and it's officially working in the country.

Thanks for attention. Kindly waiting to hear from the eBay guys.

Best Regards,

- Al

Hey @og.a_37! Thank you for tagging us on this and we will make sure to have this reported on our end as well. If there any changes to the policy for where we allow sellers to be located to sell on eBay we will be sure to let you know!

Hey, devon@ebay  I appreciate you taking time to respond. If I may ask you, could you be more specific about the following:

1) What exactly will be reported - my message, link to this thread or the general information about the case?

2) Reported where ?

3) How long it might take to review such issue? And have there even been requests of the same nature, like mine, where people didn't have their country in the list eligible to sell and it was added later by request?

4) How likely is it, that my request will be reviewed and necessary changes will be made?

5) Where will I be contacted - by personal message, by email or here in this topic?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

- Al

devon@ebay  elizabeth@ebay Hello? Your response seems like a quick template copy-paste. Could you respond the questions above and be more specific? I'm trying to get attention to this case. Thank you.

Hey @og.a_37! Usually for anything that we report on our end there is no time table for a response. And also the teams we work with are not always guaranteed to reach out directly to a member as they are usually not customer facing. The only thing I can tell you in this case is that we have it reported and if there is any more follow-up that we can share we will be sure to loop you in.

devon@ebayUnderstood.

Could you please respond to this one particular question:

Have there ever been requests of the same nature, like mine, where people didn't have their country in the list eligible to sell and it was added later by request?

Thank you.

@og.a_37 There have been times where that has happened in the past that has occured.

devon@ebay  Awesome. I highly hope that my case will be reviewed and necessary changes will be made in regards to the situation of Cape Verde not being able to list on eBay.

I appreciate your time. Thank you.

Hi,

Did you manage to get things changed? 

What are the products you wish to sell on ebay. Are they new made in CV products that you wish to sell globally? If so, maybe we can help?
