***Updated: New International Selling Agreement***

31 January 2012 | 09:52AM EST

The ability to sell internationally is an important benefit of selling on eBay. Not only can sellers offer an item for sale to Australian buyers, but they can also offer it to millions of buyers worldwide. This can be achieved either by selecting an international postage option when listing on eBay.com.au, or by listing directly on another eBay site.

Since eBay site policies differ by country, in future eBay may require sellers to agree to an international selling agreement before allowing them to sell internationally. This agreement will be surfaced to applicable sellers when they first attempt to list on an eBay site other than eBay.com.au or when they choose to offer international postage options on an eBay.com.au listing. Once the agreement has been accepted, those sellers will not need to do so again.

***Updated: Free insertion fees for casual sellers now permanent***

18 January 2012 | 02:38PM EST

As announced in September 2011, eBay has been trialling free insertion fees on single quantity items in any listing format for casual sellers, up to 30 listings per month. Following positive feedback, eBay is delighted to make this trial permanent, effective immediately.

To enable eBay to continue to offer free insertion fees on up to 30 listings per month to casual sellers, eBay will begin running advertisements on a certain number of View Item Pages. The advertisements will only run on the listings of those sellers who do not pay an insertion fee on their listings and will be effective as of 23 January 2012.

Example Listing

Other changes to the View Item Page

From 23 January 2012, you will see a number of changes to the View Item page on eBay.com.au which will be effective across all listings.

These changes include:

  • Relocating the 'item number', 'item location', 'posts to' and 'bid history' information to more prominent parts of the View Item Page. For Buy It Now listings, the number of items sold will also be relocated to a more prominent position.
  • The 'Ask a question' link will also be relocated and included within the item description
Please see an example listing above.

Kind regards,

The eBay team
