Selling on the eBay.com online marketplace

eBay has evolved since its initial days as an auction site. It is now a marketplace where sellers can build an online store.

eBay also have a global shipping programme making international shipping easier.

There are 2 options to listing on eBay.com:

• if you have a UK eBay seller account, you can opt into international shipping. This will give your products visibility on ebay.com under "options from international sellers"
• to appear further up search options on ebay.com, you can create separate listings on ebay.com and ebay.co.uk

There must be differentiation in listings as eBay have a duplicate listing policy. Sellers using this method must be mindful of ensuring their postage method states "outside the US" and price accordingly.

eBay is a business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) market place, selling to customers in the USA.

You can sell on eBay if your business is in one or more of the following sectors:

• Textiles
• Apparel
• Technology
• Food and drink
• Sports
• Electronics
• Health and beauty
• Children's items
• A place to buy everything

If you are already a seller on eBay.co.uk, then the monthly subscription fees on eBay.com are covered by the UK store subscription. However, additional listing fees will apply if listing separately on ebay.com
