What are the requirements for selling globally?

The eBay International Market gives you the opportunity to make your listings available to buyers worldwide. To sell globally, your item and category need to meet the selling and eligibility requirements for the eBay site in each country where you sell. Qualifications include:

  • You have a minimum Feedback score of 10.

  • Your eBay account is in good standing.

  • You have a PayPal account and are PayPal Verified.

  • You meet the selling requirements of the sites where you want your listings to appear.

Item requirements

When you trade internationally, you need to verify that you're following all laws in other countries, which can differ from laws in your own country. The category you choose must be eligible for international site visibility and the item can't be a prohibited or restricted item . If the category isn't eligible, you won't see International site visibility as a choice when you list your item. You can select international site visibility only for the eBay sites shown on the listing form. The international site visibility feature will only appear on the listing form if you meet the following qualifications:

  • You must have a verified PayPal account associated with your seller account.

  • Your listing must offer PayPal as a payment option.

  • You must have a Feedback score of 10 or more.

  • If you're listing on eBay.com or eBay.ca, your item's location country can't be the UK or Ireland.

  • Your item must be posted in an eligible category. Ineligible categories include video games, DVDs and movies, hunting knives, auto parts, and vehicles.

  • You must offer UK, Europe, or worldwide postage. Specified delivery service to these areas is highly recommended, since unspecified P&P items may be moved to the bottom of the Best Match search results.

  • Your listing must meet all applicable country policies.
