📚 What This Video Covers

‍ • What eBay International Shipping (EIS) Is: the new version of the Global Shipping Program (GSP) with simpler shipping and lower costs.

‍ ✅ Tip: EIS replaces GSP and automatically makes your listings visible worldwide if your location is set to the USA.

‍

• How the Program Works: ship locally, and eBay ships globally.

‍ ✅ Pro Tip: Always include the unique reference number when shipping to eBay’s U.S. hub — it connects your package to the international buyer.

‍

• Main Benefits: eBay manages customs, taxes, international tracking, and returns for you.

‍ ✅ Insight: You only handle domestic shipping — eBay takes full responsibility once it reaches their Illinois hub.

‍

• Eligibility & Requirements: sellers must be Above Standard or Top Rated; items under 44 lbs, 48 inches, and $2,500 value.

‍ ✅ Tip: Avoid restricted products like liquids, batteries, or perishables.

‍

• Who Can Benefit: U.S.-based dropshippers, wholesalers, and private-label sellers.

‍ ✅ Pro Tip: Perfect for sellers sourcing from Amazon, Walmart, or local warehouses.

‍

• How to Enroll:

‍

1. Go to Account Settings → Shipping Preferences. ‍
2. Find “eBay International Shipping” and click Enroll. ‍
3. Wait up to 24 hours — listings will gain global visibility.

‍ ✅ Insight: You’ll know it’s active when “Ships to” lists multiple countries on your product page.

‍

• EIS vs. Old GSP: EIS = cheaper, easier, and managed returns; GSP = costlier and limited support.

‍ ✅ Pro Tip: Switching to EIS increases visibility with no added fees.
