Selling overseas only

Register on the sites you want to sell on. If you list something on the .com then you have to sell in the US. And, you are mostly incorrect about the online sales tax starting soon.

 you are new.  So  you can only sell US only until you become established. - At least 10 listings or 90 days of selling.

How to sell internationally

Before you can sell internationally, you'll need to:

  • Have an eBay account in good standing
  • Have a PayPal account - opens in new window or tab and be PayPal Verified - opens in new window or tab
  • Offer PayPal as a payment option
  • Have earned at least 10 feedback points as a seller
  • Have made your first successful sale more than 90 days ago
  • Post in an eligible category. Ineligible categories for international sales include Video Games, DVDs & Movies, Hunting knives, Auto parts, and Vehicles
  • Offering shipping to the UK, Europe, or worldwide. Specifying shipping service to these areas is highly recommended, since listings without specified shipping may be moved to the bottom of Best Match search results

Selling overseas only

If you sell on the .com site then you have to sell to people in the US.

 

If you only want to sell Internationally, then sign up on those sites and block the US.

Any site you use you must sell to that country and you must use that country's currency.

I sell on eBayCanada in loonies and sell to Canada and worldwide.

I sell on eBaydotCOM (USA) in US dollars and sell to the USA and worldwide.

If I sell on eBay France I must sell in euros and sell to France, but I can also sell worldwide from that site.

 

To sell to a country specifically, you must give a specific shipping rate.

Note that you can set more than one international shipping rate for various countries.

Take a look at the Advanced Sell Your Item form.

The link you need is Offer Another Service. This can be used to give another kind of service (Economy/ Priority) or a different rate for a different country (France, Australia, China).

 

The tricky part is not the listing.

US based Paypal accounts charge your 30cents plus 2.9% of your payment from US buyers. International payments from non-US accounts are charged the same 30 cents but 4.4% of the payment.

You can attach bank accounts in several countries and several currencies to reduce your foriegn exchange costs.

We have a US bank account as well as our Canadian bank accounts, and put US dollar payments into the former and Canadian dollar payments into the latter.

If another Canadian is reading this, look into RBCBank or TDNorth, which are owned by Canadian banks, but are US institutions. There should be advertising around now aimed at snowbirds, but useful for eBay merchants too.
