Approximately 180 million shoppers in Russia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Denmark, Sweden and Norway are now able to use the eBay International Market, a website tailored to local needs and available in each native language.

Since its launch earlier in 2010, customers from these six countries have bought over five million items from overseas sellers and the number of eBay customers in these markets has increased by nearly 200,000.
 

Key benefits for sellers who offer international postage:
  • Increase sales - buyers will be directed to listings on eBay.co.uk that offer international postage
  • Buyers seeking items that are not easily available: typically buyers who shop on the eBay International Market are looking for products that cannot be found locally or are more expensive in their own country especially auto parts, fashion and consumer electronics Key benefits for buyers on eBay International Market:
  • Fully translated eBay site – the only things not translated will be seller’s item titles and descriptions.
  • The ability to search for items across eBay’s global inventory, but only see search results from sellers who will post to their location
  • Prices converted into local currency
  • Customer support in the native language Buyer & Seller Protection on the eBay International Market:

  • Only fixed price items will be included
  • You’ll need to offer worldwide postage and specify postage costs;
  • You must be PayPal verified and of course offer PayPal as a payment option.
