eBay

Would it be possible to buy something on eBay from a Chinese seller and have it shipped to someone in China as a gift? I am a US buyer that wants to give a gift to someone in China. Is this possible or has anyone pulled this off? Thanks in advance!

Its completely possible. Just go to checkout and edit the address and name appropriately. Expect shipping to change, as some items are actually more expensive in country than out to ship, but it should tell you how much before paying.

It's possible only if the seller ships to China to begin with. Check the shipping BEFORE you purchase. Many Chinese sellers will not ship within their own country.

Possibly but most Chinese sellers will not ship within their own country. You can change your shipping address during checkout but if the seller doesn’t ship within China, you won’t be able to purchase the item & have it shipped there.

Thank you all for your insights and information, I did not know that. Very interesting that they only want to ship international, it's usually free or the cheapest shipping ever. I was trying to avoid the crazy international fees from USA to China, looks like it will be a toss up if I find the right seller that can do it and at a decent price. Thanks again!
