Showing your items in search results on other eBay sites

Attract more potential international buyers by showing your eBay.com items in search results on other eBay sites. Buyers on the sites you choose will see your listings exactly as you posted them on eBay.com. You can reach millions of buyers without having to create separate listings for the other sites.

Expanding your market by choosing international site visibility is a listing upgrade available for items in selected eBay categories. The fee depends on which site you choose for your upgrade.

The seller, the category, and the item all must be eligible for listing on the other site. To find out about eligibility on other eBay sites, you can visit the site using the Global Sites pull-down menu on the eBay Home page.

Seller qualifications

  • You need to have a minimum Feedback Score of 10 positive to provide international site visibility to your listings.

  • Your eBay account must be in good standing. 

  • You’ll need to have a PayPal account and be PayPal Verified.

  • You’ll need to meet the selling requirements of the sites where you want visibility. To learn about eligibility on other eBay sites, you can link to the site from the Global Sites pull-down menu on the eBay Home page.

Item requirements 

  • You need to select either the Online Auction or Fixed Price (Buy It Now) selling format.

  • You won’t be able to use international site visibility for listings on eBay Stores, eBay Express, or from the websites of any other eBay companies such as Half.com or Shopping.com.

  • The category you select must be eligible for international site visibility.

    • For example, you can’t select international site visibility for items that are sold in the digital download format, which is available within certain categories.

    • If the category isn’t eligible, you won’t see international site visibility as a choice in Listing Upgrades.

    • On eBay Motors, only items listed in the Parts & Accessories category are eligible.

  • You’ll need to specify international shipping in your listing.

    Note: We recommend that you also include a shipping carrier and cost, since items with this information are more likely to be purchased.

  • You’ll have to specify PayPal as a payment method.

Important: When selling internationally, please verify you're complying with foreign laws, which can differ from your local laws and restrict sales of authentic products. Get details about international trading.


How to add international site visibility to your listings

  1. On the Sell Your Item form, go to the Maximize your item’s visibility section and scroll down to "International site visibility". (If you’re using Turbo Lister, this section is called Listing Upgrades.)

    • If you don’t see the international site visibility option, it’s not available for your listing. 

  2. Select the countries where you want your listings to appear in search results. For example, if you’re selling a souvenir you bought in Australia, you might want to choose eBay Australia.

  3. Be sure you’ve selected an international shipping option to the designated country on the  “Creating your listing” page.

  4. 4. If you don’t see a country listed, you can’t purchase international site visibility on that country’s eBay site.

Tip: Some words are spelled differently in different countries (“color” versus “colour,” “aluminum” versus “aluminium”) and some terms have different meanings (“biscuit” in Australia and the U.K. is “cookie” in the U.S., while “cutlery” is “flatware” or “utensils” in the U.S. but “knives” in other English-speaking countries). Consider using the spellings and meanings that apply to all the countries where you’re promoting your listing.

Fees

  • Fees for international site visibility vary by country.

  • Each country you select has a separate fee.

  • Because these are optional feature fees, you’ll see them listed in the Fees section of the “Review your listing” page, and they’re charged when you submit your listing.

    • Note: If you select international site visibility, but the other site can’t accept your selection, you will be notified with a message in My eBay and you won’t be charged for it. Otherwise international site visibility fees are non-refundable.

Finding your item on the other country sites

  • There are times when your listing may not immediately appear when using a keyword or category search until several hours after you have created it.

  • The other country's site might not have been able to accept your listing. (In that case, you won’t be charged for international site visibility.)

When you revise and relist

  • If you revise your listing, you’ll need to maintain the seller and listing requirements for international site visibility in order to keep it active:

    • Example: You decide not to ship to Australia anymore. You won’t be able to offer international site visibility to Australian buyers.

  • If you remove international site visibility while your listing is active, you’ll still be charged for it.

  • If you remove international site visibility before you relist your item, you’ll only be charged for the item’s first listing.

  • If you edit listings, or you relist in bulk, you can keep or remove your international site visibility selection for the entire group of listings. To do this, select or clear the check box in the Additional listing information section of the Listing Information page.
