Can I sell and ship items from a different country than the one that my account is based in?

My ebay account is based in Canada, where I normally reside. I use my account mainly to buy, but have also sold and shipped a few items. Therefore, this Canadian ebay account is somewhat established, and has some feedback. I am currently in Poland, helping my family clear out my grandfather's house. We would like to sell some of my grandfather's books, collectibles and antiques, and I think ebay would be a good platform for this. Is it possible to use my Canadian ebay account to sell and ship items from Poland? I could set up a brand new account in Poland, but I would prefer to use my established Canadian account with feedback.


I created a test listing in my existing account, and was able to change the "Item Location" in the Preferences section of the listing to Poland. However, this does not change the Shipping Method options for the listing - I still only have Canada Post and other Canadian shipping services to choose from, which obviously won't work for an item sold from Poland. Does anyone know if the scenario I am describing is possible, and if so what the best way of doing this would be? Thanks in advance!

You can't use any of the domestic Canadian shipping options or the calculator.

 

For shipping to Canada select Flat Rate and scroll down the shipping options to "services from abroad".

 

For shipping to other countries go the the International shipping section and select options there.

 

Note this is the USA boards, so you may see some a little different then described above.

Thanks so much for the answer, even though I accidentally posted on the wrong board, I really appreciate it! Sorry for my late reply! I followed your directions, and was able to find a flat rate shipping option called "Economy Shipping from outside Canada" and "Economy Int'l Shipping", which I can then adjust to shipping rates from Poland. It looks like I can create rate tables too, based on weight, which should work well because the Polish post office has a weight-based rate table for international shipments. Again, I really appreciate your help!

Do you know does the “Economy Shipping from outside Canada” Label works in Poland? I mean is it scannable at the postoffice? Did you try it? 
and how about the taxes? Do you have to pay taxes in Poland too ?
