***Selling internationally - new International Selling Agreement for sellers in the UK and Ireland***

30 January, 2012 | 09:37AM GMT

Hello,

Selling internationally has become a very important part of selling on eBay, allowing you to reach over 97 million buyers worldwide.

If you list your items on a site different from your original site of registration, or select an international delivery option when listing, your items are automatically made available to international buyers.

Because some eBay policies differ between countries - in particular, eBay Buyer Protection policies - we'll now be asking all sellers to accept our International Selling Agreement when listing on a new site or selecting an international delivery option.

Accepting the International Selling Agreement confirms that you're aware of the policy differences between eBay sites and countries. You'll only need to accept the agreement once.

Regards,
The eBay Team

***New eBay Postage Label Flow begins testing***

17 January, 2012 | 12:02PM GMT

Hello,

From 17 January, a small percentage of sellers will begin using our new Postage Label flow instead of printing labels through PayPal.

We're testing the new flow carefully before making it more widely available. This faster, simpler flow will replace PayPal postage printing for eBay sellers.

Sellers will be able to select and print postage labels more easily and from more carrier partners, as well as link a PayPal account for automatic payment.

Regards,
The eBay Team
