Whether you have been selling on eBay for long or you are new to international selling, then you must have heard of the eBay Global Shipping Program (GSP) that lets you sell your items internationally while you ship domestically, making international sales as easy as easy as domestic sales. As a seller, one of the things you might not like doing is selling to international buyers due to the fact that there are hassle and complexity of international postage or customs issues, not forgetting the fear of scams and frauds; well GSP has proven to be the solutions to these problems for sellers on eBay. So, read on to learn more about GSP.

What is eBay’s Global Shipping Program?
Simply put eBay’s Global Shipping Program is a program that allows you sell to international buyers without having to face the issues of custom or shipping by yourself. The items you list on your shop will be available to buyers that are not in the same country as you, and they will be able to pay for services like international postage and any necessary customs clearance services the moment they check out. The bottom line is all you have to do as a seller is to package the products and post to eBay GSP to forward it abroad.

How does the Global Shipping Program work?

The Global Shipping Program is available for both the new or old seller into international selling and allows them to list and sell items on a global basis, while shipping their products domestically, making the process so easy. The moment you enroll for eBay Global Shipping Program, you will be able to apply it to your new and active listings, and your listings that are eligible will be live to international buyers on eBay.com.

There are no hidden charges as the total item price of the product with import charges will be calculated automatically for your buyer before they check out. All you have to do when you get an international order is to send the products to the US shipping center close to you and leave the remaining process like payment of applicable import charges, customs forms, package processing, and international shipping with tracking for the Global Shipping Program to do.

Payments for Global Shipping Program items

The best part about using GSP is the fact that there are no additional costs for using this program. eBay will only charge you on your Final Value on the item’s price plus the cost of postage, not on the international postage costs or any import charges. When an international buyer makes a purchase, let’s say through PayPal, PayPal will split the payment between you and the international postage provider of which you will receive the full payment for the item and domestic postage. Also, you don’t have to worry about adding any additional information to your listings as the international postage costs, and eBay will calculate import charges.
