International Selling
There are over 182 million active buyers in 190 markets worldwide on eBay. We've built our technology and platform to enable sellers around the world to tap into this network.
International Postage
When you list an item, you can select the international postage option and you’re ready to start selling all over the world. Here are some of the features:
- International postage options appear on your listings
- You set one price which we convert to the local currency
- Listings appear on default or advanced search results in those countries and are subject to local rules
- Where available, item titles will be translated to the local language but your listings may appear in English
- You pay the eBay.com.au final value fees for that listing, wherever it’s sold
Listing on International eBay Sites
Listing items directly on international eBay websites is the professional way to sell internationally. Use your eBay.com.au credentials to login to international websites (e.g. eBay.co.uk) and then tailor your Australian listings to suit the local markets. Benefits of directly listing on international eBay sites include:
- You can create separate listings for each eBay site
- Tailor your pricing to suit each market
- Your listings will have higher visibility as they will appear in the search results on those local sites
- You can translate item descriptions into the local language and appeal to more buyers
- You only pay the applicable selling fees for that country (and not eBay.com.au)
Get Started Selling Internationally
There are a few things to keep in mind before you start selling internationally. Listings and transactions must comply with applicable laws in both the country of the seller and the buyer. Each country has different laws and limitations and we recommend you understand these requirements thoroughly before you start exporting or listing internationally.

International Delivery Options
There are a number of different carriers that offer international delivery. Which carrier is right for you will depend on the type of items you sell and the countries you deliver to. Carriers include:
Excluded Locations
If you offer international postage, you may choose to exclude certain countries where you’re not willing to ship your items. You can do this through setting up postage business policies, specifying excluded locations, and applying these to current and future listings.
When you list an item, you can also select international postage locations and/or exclusions on the listing form – either ‘Worldwide’ or particular regions or countries.
