What kind of items can I buy using eBay International Shipping?

At the moment, eBay International Shipping is available on most items up to $2,500 item value (excluding taxes, duties, and delivery fees) and located in the US.

However, items included in eBay’s hazardous, restricted or regulated materials policy, and items that don’t follow our International trading policy are not available with eBay International Shipping.

How are eBay International Shipping and the Global Shipping Program different?

eBay International Shipping keeps all of the benefits of the Global Shipping Program while offering lower shipping costs and a much simpler buyer experience, with eBay handling all aspects of international returns and any other claims. eBay International Shipping has replaced the Global Shipping Program in the US, but you may see it available on other non-US listings.

How do I track my orders and why do I see two tracking numbers?

You can follow your package online all the way to your shipping address when we upload tracking information. You will see two tracking numbers because the item will be shipped via two shipments. First, it will be shipped from the seller to the U.S. domestic shipping hub (first tracking number). Upon receiving the item, eBay will manage the shipment directly to your shipping address (second tracking number).
