Unique Identification Numbers (UINs)

I cannot understand why eBay does not hold a license that eBay vendors help pay for when using eBay International shipping.  

So far I can deal and ship directly with my buyers in France without a UINs.

Hi Reine,

Nery Services

Both household and professionals.

All sales are through eBay and most often I only know the name of the client in France.  If they are in business or just hobbyist I do not know.

If it helps I can offer return shipping of all products no longer useful no longer needed.  I can use only paper and cardboard for shipping.

I wish I knew the reasoning behind this.  I wish I knew why eBay does not secure a license and pass the appropriate share of the fees to vendors like me.

Thank you

John Nery

If you use the EIS program, do these headaches go away?  I'm just curious.  I have not had this issue, so just asking.

I can't find anything stating either way, but we have shipped items to France via the EIS program recently, since the EPR/UIN requirement should have taken effect, and we definitely didn't do anything to register for it.  I don't know for sure the full requirements of that and if our items would be excluded since they're not new, but that's the one tidbit of data I can provide.

Are there some of your listings that aren't allowing EIS to France? I just a few of them using France as a location and they all showed shipping via the EIS.
