Selling your items on the eBay International Market is free. Your listings on the International Market appear exactly as they do on eBay.com, and you can reach millions of buyers without creating separate listings for eBay websites in individual countries.
The International Market is different from eBay websites for individual countries in that instead of having to list in all the countries where you want to sell, you only need to list once and specify where you're willing to ship. Buyers can then browse on the eBay International Market in their own languages, in their own time zones, and with your listings showing the buyers' own currencies.
Tip: Some words are spelled differently in different countries (for example, check in the U.S. and cheque in the U.K.) and some terms have different meanings. Consider using spellings and meanings that apply to all the countries where you’re listing your item.

International Shipping
We recommend that you include a shipping carrier and cost, because items with this information attract more buyers. Here are some things to consider when shipping internationally:
Shipping costs. Costs to ship to other countries can vary greatly depending on the distance and shipping methods. Most sellers specify that buyers pay the shipping costs for international sales.
Insurance. We recommend that you insure any packages being shipped internationally. Check with your shipping carrier to find out whether they provide automatic coverage.
You need to specify a shipping carrier and cost in the Shipping Details section of your listing—not doing so could have negative impact on your listing's placement in search results.
