Hello,

As previously announced in the Business Seller News – Autumn 2012, Featured First will no longer be visible in search results on eBay.co.uk from later this evening.

Unfortunately, it may still be possible to purchase Featured First when listing an item until the week commencing 10 October. However, as Featured First won’t be visible in search results, we would advise you not to choose this option.

If you inadvertently purchase Featured First during this time, you’ll receive a full fee credit.

We apologise for this inconvenience and thank you for selling on eBay.

Regards
The eBay.co.uk Team

Hello,

You can now set postage costs and services per country when specifying international postage services for your listings on eBay.co.uk.

International postage rate tables enable sellers to provide item-based postage costs, weight-based postage costs and surcharges for more than 200 countries.

If you offer international postage on your listings, you’ll now be able to easily specify different services or costs for posting items to different countries. For example, sellers can specify different postage costs of £2.00 to Austria, £3.00 to Belarus and £4.00 to Belgium as shown in the screenshot below.  Please check the International postage rates that apply to your items as this will vary depending on the carrier you use, the item size and the item location.

It’s easy to set up international postage rate tables:

1. Go to My eBay, select the Account tab and Site Preferences.
2. Click the Show link on the Postage and packaging preferences to see the Postage rate tables section.
3. Click the Edit link next to the Use postage tables option.
4. On the next page, you can set your domestic and international postage rates.
5. Once you’ve finished, click the Apply button.

Once international postage rate tables have been set up, they can be used any time an item is listed.

Note: You must continue to comply with applicable laws relating to refunds and returns and these may vary in different countries. You must make it clear in your listing if you do not cover the cost of postage of any returned items.

Watch our new video to find out more about using international postage rate tables.

If you use a third-party selling tool, check with your provider to find out when international postage rate tables will be available.
