Understand regulations that apply to you as an eBay seller

Regulatory compliance support for sellers

We recognise that keeping up with regulations can be challenging and time consuming, especially when you're focused on growing your business. As a seller, you may be required to comply with certain laws and regulations when trading domestically and internationally. Non-compliance may put you and your business at risk and can lead to actions such as restricted selling activity or hidden listings. As part of our commitment to making regulatory compliance easier for sellers, we've identified independent third-party providers that offer services to help you meet regulatory requirements more efficiently and effectively.

Whether you're navigating tariffs or other taxes, product safety standards, or environmental regulations, third-party providers may be able to support you in managing regulatory requirements and choosing an approach that aligns with your business needs.

What is third-party compliance support?

Third-party compliance support refers to services provided by independent companies that help businesses understand and meet applicable regulatory requirements. These services may include access to data required for compliance, global product safety testing and certification, EU Responsible Person representation, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) registration and reporting, and regulatory guidance to help you more confidently manage legal and operational requirements.
