    A little extra information for you on this especially if you are a newer seller. So if you don't have that bar at the top you're not eligible or haven't been invited. One thing eBay has missed is telling actual specific timeframe requirements for EIS. For instance I'm a newer seller 4 mos. in with over 500 sales and above standard rating, but don't have the option currently. I've contacted eBay several times to find out how long do I need to have a store? How long do I need to be a top rated seller? For which they have no answers. The only answer I've been given is that it's an invite only thing currently. How true this is I don't know. It's been very frustrating to say the least, but at this point I'll wait for the universe to take care of me on this one.

      So you can't ship your products internationally (over seas) if you don't have that invite option? It seems that the "eBay international shipping" is available only for americans. But I've seen plenty of sellers on eBay with free international shipping. How does that work? I have/create some great products to sell.. but I'm not sure how to sell it in other countries because of the shipping.

    I appreciate anyone making a video trying to help people....that really needs to be applauded....but...nothing is perfect and I am a witness to that.....international shipping sounds good and it is good but it's not without it's issues....even if ebay is doing the heavy lifting for you....and they are not always the same issues....all I'm saying is never just go with "this is magic and there are never going to be any problems" because you will get them with international shipping....so do not go into this thinking nothing will ever happen and it will always be roses and sunshine....because it will not....if you have a business you will have business issues and they are not always good....do not be naïve....approach it the same way you approach selling domestically and you will be fine....

    Hi Scott,
    Thank you for your great educational tutorials. You're one of my favorite UA-camrs.😊
    I've heard that when a package is shipped internationally, the Ebay folks in Illinois will always re-package your item into a different box or envelope than the one you sent it in. With that in mind, wouldn't it be best to package the item as inexpensively as possible, rather than using any brand new shipping materials? For example, the nice, brand new box you used in this video could be saved for a domestic shipment that goes directly to the buyer.
    Also, if you have a very fragile item going overseas, the care you take in packaging a breakable item might not be duplicated by Ebay International Shipping staff. So while you, as a seller, might not have to eat the cost of a refund, its still SO sad to think about a one-of-a-kind, amazing glass piece wind up getting destroyed because of not being boxed very well by the Illinois facility. Please let me know if my info about this is inaccurate in any way. I'm new, never done International, and trying to learn too!!! Thanks!!!

    • @TheChaChingKing

      Ebay opens and inspects every package. They repack IF they think it's necessary. They don't automatically repack everything. I decided to just pack it well enough to make the trip. It might cost me a dollar or two more in materials, but I want to ensure a safe trip if I can.
      Thanks again!

      The refund should impact you. "It shouldn't" That said, it sounds a bit unusual. The Glendale, IL. is still an eBay hub. That's where I ship my EIS packages to. So, even if it is going to get shipped back to you, it doesn't surprise me that it went to the IL address. BUT, I'd still contact eBay on Facebook. Returns are not supposed to impact the seller in any way.

      According to eBay, you shouldn't have to do anything at all to make it work before hand. If an international buyer purchases more than one item, you should be able to combine them after the fact.
      "If you are currently enrolled in eBay International Shipping, there’s nothing you need to do. Your eligible listings will be updated automatically, and combined shipment orders will display like they do for any other domestic order. Simply combine and ship to the domestic eBay International Shipping hub, and you’re done. "

So let's say someone from the UK orders 20 different items at once in one big order. I ship for free to the International shipping location. I don't get to see what the shipping charge is to the UK for 20 items. I would say eBay calculates that somehow. Do they use the weight I specify in the listings? For me the weight is irrelevant because I'm just selling gaming cards. For other people it could make a huge difference. One thing that ticked me off is I wasn't on the program.

    When you are doing your own international shipping outside of ebay, do you need to attach a commercial invoice to the outside of the packaging or isn't it necessary?

    • @TheChaChingKing
      @TheChaChingKing  Місяць тому +1

      I don't ship outside of the eBay International Shipping (EIS). I do know you don't typically have to have a commercial invoice. Usually, the International Shipping form with the declarations on it will suffice. The exact requirements vary from country to country. For me, I don't think I would ship internationally without EIS.

    • @TheChaChingKing
      @TheChaChingKing  3 місяці тому +1

      Without seeing exactly what's going on, I can't be sure. If you have been given the option of opting in yet, there's no way to force that issue that I know of. If the winning buyer is in another country, it should charge more for shipping. They don't automatically get it for you domestic rate. You might contact eBay on Facebook to see if they can look at your auction to give you further instructions.
