Is it possible to pre-fill correct info into customs forms for an item? Tired of filling out customs

[falconsys]

I sell a couple bumper stickers and magnets. Every single time someone buys one internationally, I have to go in, delete the item title from the form (it's not descriptive for customs), fill in "Bumper Magnet" or "Bumper Sticker", then key in the HS code using autofill (I hit "8" for magnets which gives me "8505191000", for example)...

Every. Freaking. Time.

Is it at all possible to prefill the HS code, at a bare minimum?

Why don't you try GSP and see how that'll work for U? Offer free shipping

So, international Buyers buy their own through GSP and you just send a package to Kentucky 

For domestic shipping add the costs to price in advance 

No more troubles!

GSP costs 2-3x as much as using eBay International Delivery. Someone would have to pay $30 to ship a single sticker. As it is, it's already bordering on too-expensive (+$10 for int'l), and I use eBay International Delivery - which is a newer program than GSP which has tons of issues in addition to that.

All I want is just to pre-fill the customs forms at the item level, not the sale level.

Have you looked at Pirate Ship Can be connected to your eBay account.  I assume a sticker fits in a regular envelope. Why aren't you sending as a letter or at least parcel post.

Well, you're not paying!? You get insurance for lost and stolen plus all paperwork is done by eBay

I understand!

That's how I started off doing it. An envelope isn't trackable, and international shipments NEED tracking (it's not even really optional in any sale, but you can kinda-almost-sorta get away with it for domestic). I've been itching to get eBay Standard Envelope in-use so I can drop prices, but so far, no dice - eBay only offers it in other categories. I'd have to list my stickers as "trading cards" or something. 🙄 Not a good way to go. So, envelopes are out. I had to switch to trackable flat mailers & USPS First Class package postage because envelopes kept getting lost. I only heard from the customers that KNOW they never received them, but who knows how many were sold, shipped, lost, and just forgotten? Yeah, envelopes are bad due to lack of tracking. 😞

Specifically, w.r.t. Pirate Ship - I do have an account there, but the rates aren't even as cheap as eBay's offerings, and it's a third party integration. What benefit would I have for integrating a third party platform to pull and ship eBay orders if it costs pennies more, not less? I wouldn't even see a benefit to using it for international - unless they can do it cheaper by perhaps shipping with a trackable #10 envelope. Today, though, no dice. I'd bet you anything that stamps-dotcom has patented the mere idea of printing postage onto an envelope. 🙄

Question still stands: just prefilling the HS code at item-level, not sale-level. Is this not a reasonable request for eBay to implement?
