eBay

Hello everyone.

I want to start selling on Ebay. So for now i want to sell some item from Greece ONLY to Greece. But i can't do it. At "www.ebay.com" while creating the listing i can't remove the U.S. Shipping from the interface whatever i do. I read somewhere that i should create the listing on an other "www.ebay.*" rather than the "www.ebay.com". So i do the listing in the "www.ebay.co.uk". At this case i can exclude everything except from U.K. I want to exclude also U.K. and only include Greece. I'm very confused. Do you have any idea?

If you are listing on a country's website you cannot exclude that country.

If you list on ebay.com then you can't exclude the USA as this is the USA site. same for the UK.

What you can do as a work around is include USA and Greece and set it up properly using the exclusions, not just in the description.

Charge a huge shipping cost to the US as a fixed price and a normal cost to Greece.

You will not however be able to use calculated shipping to Greece, only fixed price.

You will also have to show the location of your item as Greece.

You can do the same for any site you choose to list on.

Is Paypal allowed in Greece?

Yes, Paypal is allowed.

Thank you both for the advice! I'll do what papermoneyforme suggests 🙂

Just curious, but why would you list on a site that primarily caters to people who live in the US, when you do not want to sell to them.

Doesn't Greece have a more local board you could use - or maybe even the UK site.

I don't use a local greek site because i want to "learn" ebay. I want to first sell things inside Greece and then sell internationally. For my case i think using the UK ebay site is the best.

Yes, but this is the US board.

That is why you should be asking on the UK site.
