I really need help. Please, help me. I live in Norway and want to sell something internationally, for example to the USA or Europe. Which shipping service should I choose? There are very limited shipping services here in Kongsberg, Norway; for instance, we don’t have FedEx or USPS Ground Advantage, etc. What do you suggest? thank You 👍👌
If you live in the US and are selling eligible items then the only thing to work on is your seller level. Ship quickly, be responsive to customer's questions, describe items accurately etc. That will increase your seller lever so that you're eligible.
Sandra, thank you so much for answering and sharing your experience. Please tell me, does it mean that if I have displayed, for example, only 10 products, but there are no sales or views yet, can I already enable the promotion option or is it better to wait until I list more products? And you also said that send 20% offers to likers throught the day, please tell me what this means, how is it done?
With promotions you dont pay unless the item sales via a promotion. So it wouldn't hurt to promote your products now. Watch the video I linked in the previous coment to see how and were to send offers.
??? HI - great videos! If I am already enrolled in eBay International Shipping; but I need to list something like a knife and I just want that particular listing to not be listed internationally how do I do that?
What about if the item didn’t qualify but you added another shipping service in order for the buyer to purchase, do you ship normally? I know that you’re now responsible for all. But for example I added USPS first class international service and the buyer paid for the shipping, can I still use any polymailer to ship it or has to be first class envelope?
Hello, Sandra! Hello.I would like to ask you for advice. I'm new to selling on ebay and only about a week ago I started posting my ads on ebay, so far I'm posting two ads a day. But my problem is that I don’t have any sales or even views yet. Could you please advise what to do in such situations? Should I start placing ads on my ads or should I just wait for now? Is it worth offering the Best Offer right away or what is the best thing to do to start sales? Please, if you don’t mind, share your experience and advice on how best to make sales happen. Thank you .
Hello. By ads do you mean "promoted listings"? I do promoted listings at 5%, offer 20% coupon, have best offer enabled, and send 20% offers to likers througout the day. Having all these different discounts and options available helps me have consistent sales. I discuss those discount options here: th-cam.com/video/QJKlitkRiMU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PA352QrjLM2CJC9q
I just opted in for International Shipping, when I create a listing will it automatically list in other countries or do I have to pay the 50 cent listing fee for it to show on UK ebay? Love your videos, thanks!
Question....I have figured out the shipping charges ahead for an item to ship direct from my location internationally and listed with that amount of shipping on my listing. Can I bypass the Glengrove, Illinois hub and do it myself?
Good video, I will eventually try selling on eBay. I noticed that you use a PO Box instead of your actual address on Poshmark. Do you have a video to watch about that?
Great video I have a question, (by the way I'm very new) who calculates the Shipping for the ebay International shipping me or eBay, and if so how is it done and then on the listing it will have two shippings one for International and one for the United States and are there other fees we have to charge or eBay takes care of all that? thank you!, oh and how do you do all that in the listing where to put it.
Hi Sandra, eBay says I am above standard. I followed your instructions on the video but when I get to the page that says enrolled, I don't see it anywhere. Help!
Top left hover over your profile picture> select account settings> then seller dashboard. There you can see you seller lever and status. I don't think you need an eBay store to use eIS.
Hello there I would like to list my closet that I have on Poshmark on Ebay. How do I transfer the clothing to Ebay without taking pictures of them on the Ebay app? Thank you in advance for your expertise.
I LOVE your videos!!!!!! I have sooooo many saved to sit down and watch. I do have one question....there are a TON of countries! Are there any I should Exclude? Or you recommend to ship anywhere in the world? Also, what International Shipping Services do I use? (example: USPS Priority Mail International, Worldwide Express, USPS Priority Mail International Flat Rate Medium Box, etc...) AGH i'm confused with that one. lol
I don't have any exclusions set. eBay takes care of forbidding unathorized shipments to certain countries. The only reason you'd have to exclude a country is if you had an agreement with a brand. To ship internationally ship via your normal shipping method. You're shipping your package to eBays shipping center which is in the US (Illinois). eBay ships it to the international buyer from there and they will use their own shipping method.
@@SandraTheMomBoss thanks for the fast response missy. You are amazing! Lots of love your way. I love your videos.. keep up the great work. Don’t know if you have the time, but are you able to make videos on how you ship out certain items.. shoes, and clothes that sell for a high price, and or unique items?
Question: I sold my first international sale yesterday. My buyer paid for priority mail. When I selected priority mail and purchased the label, it gave me customs forms and was going to ship directly to Germany. I talked with eBay and they said I should use the ground advantage option to the IL hub. What happens if my buyer gets upset it’s not coming to them priority and they paid 3x more the shipping cost for priority mail??
We need a tutorial with all the details of how to change the settings, like selecting countries, explaining rate table and cut off times, and combined payments.
Thanks for a nice well-explained video. I have my first international (Canada) sale and was not sure what to do. Seems like I just print out the label for Illinois and take the pacakge to the post office, and the rest ebay will handle. No more having the seller fill out the international forms at the post office. Will give it a try.
I am missing the whole "Shipping Service" section on my Ebay account. Is this section only visible to Ebay stores? I have an individual Ebay account. I do have a lot of international shipping options available when I am creating my shipping policies. Which international shipping services would you recommend? Thank you.
@@SandraTheMomBoss I no longer have the "enroll" button. I started reselling this past Feb and opted out of EIS. However, now I'm ready to sell internationally but I can't find anywhere to "enroll". I'm above standard status and I don't have a store. I didn't think you needed a store to qualify. Any idea what's going on and why I can't enroll?
I am in the same boat. The enroll button isn’t available or visible at the account level for me either. The only thing that I saw for international shipping is on the business policies section. I don’t have a store but have selling things on eBay. Currently above standard. Maybe personal vs business are setup differently.
Not that helpful! US eBay sellers act like this is so great, and it is for them, but for the international buyer, this is not great! The shipping cost adds up in a big way, and browsing on eBay does not show the price of shipping before the very last page of checkout. Personally I have deleted MANY shopping cart because the expense is huge! Last was a small 2x2 inch plastic part for my sons motorcycle. Shipping said $10.9 (can’t remember, but just below $11) on the listing, cost of item $4.99, and at checkout the price of shipping changed to around $22+tax. We needed two different parts and they could not combine shipping.
I absolutely hate eBay. because I got some fishing goop from Walmart and they stopped my listing before it started and told me I would know why. I can never buy or sell for my life.
Congrats to you Sandra on being sponsored by Ebay. You so deserve it. You always provide excellent content. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you!
What if I'm just starting though? What level would I be - will I be automatically enrolled?
I don't even see that option, Shipping Preferences.
If you offer free shipping in the United States, can you charge international buyers or do you have to do calculated shipping for both?

Thanks for the video, but what do you do as a seller if you’re not yet eligible for eIS? Thanks!
If you live in the US and are selling eligible items then the only thing to work on is your seller level. Ship quickly, be responsive to customer's questions, describe items accurately etc. That will increase your seller lever so that you're eligible.
how did you get ebay to sponsor your video?
I have no idea. A representive reached out.
Which settings do you use? I've had a few international buyers cancel their orders bc the shipping cost was so high.
Same. I don't know where eBay comes up with their costs and charges or how it's calculated but they're constantly slamming int buyers with huge fees.
Sandra, thank you so much for answering and sharing your experience.

I don't have a video on that. I use a PO Box for safety percautions. If I didn't have this channel I would just use my actual address on my platforms.
Ty! I think it’s a very good idea for you. I would do the same

What is the address of the shipping hub? How do I send to that location and still have the buyers address on the package?
Do we have to worry about VAT taxes at all or does eBay also deal with that?
I got an offer from an international buyer, how do I know its part of the program? (I am top rated) Thank you
How max units can we sell through ebay?
Hi Sandra, eBay says I am above standard. I followed your instructions on the video but when I get to the page that says enrolled, I don't see it anywhere. Help!
How do you find your rating level? Do you have to have an eBay store to ship internationally?

Do they do it for Britain to the rest of the world?
Hello there
I would like to list my closet that I have on Poshmark on Ebay.
How do I transfer the clothing to Ebay without taking pictures of them on the Ebay app?

List Perfectly is a software that will allow you to do that. Here's a tutorial: th-cam.com/video/-bLSKrUXrDE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mijioZGLeiFIqAHa
I am wondering if someone can explain how to pack the item to send to eBay for international shipping?

@SandraTheMomBoss Thank you wonderful teacher!!!!
Can you selected the items you want to be available internally? Or do do all the listings need to be set that way?
I believe there is a way to select which items you want to be sold internationally, but I don't know how to get to that setting.
@@SandraTheMomBoss thanks for the fast response missy. You are amazing! Lots of love your way. I love your videos.. keep up the great work.

I'm not sure what to do next :/
Thank you for the terrific information👍
Glad it was helpful!

How much does the buyer have to pay to ship it internationally?
It depends on where they live.

This is eligible for US Ebay seller only?
I believe so
Is it the same for Canada?
I believe this is only a US thing.
@@SandraTheMomBoss I mean if I can in the USA and shipping to Canada sorry for the misunderstanding
@@RockinRips oh. Yes you can ship from US to Canada with Ebay international shipping
So my item shipped to Illinois costs $5.50. If someone buys my item from Iraq is it still just $5.50? Or is it the $25 that the UPS charges????
You only worry abou the cost from your location to Illinois. Ebay worries about the shipping charges from their facility to that country.
Thanks !
No problem!
Sorry but straight away when i scroll down my account i don’t have shipping preferences

You have a point. International shipping can get expensive for the buyers.
@@SandraTheMomBoss And you loose buyers at checkout

Sorry you had a bad experience. They are an honest well kept company. That's been my experience so far.
Sounds like a vero claim.
This is total BS. Good lord, eBay sucks.
