Ebay will soon be expanding their international shipping service to those countries we may not have serviced in the past. While we may not ship to certain countries around the globe, eBay feels that they have more clout when it comes to international shipping and is willing to protect both the seller and the buyer should problems arise, thereby reducing the so-called “friction” that can occur with an international sale.
Essentially, after the buyer has made a purchase, we are responsible for boxing up the item then shipping it to their international shipping hub in Chicago. Upon its arrival, the parcel may get inspected by eBay to ensure that it doesn’t contain hazardous material and that the item arrives intact and without any damage. Afterwards, it is then sent on to its final destination with tracking information provided to both the buyer and seller. Naturally, it may take a bit of time before it actually arrives at the buyer’s stated location. Please note that this service will begin on November 11th. The accompanying video, prepared by eBay, does a fine job of explaining the service in greater detail.
