SpeedPAK Shipping Mandate Policy for cross-border transactions of Sri Lankan sellers with items shipped from China

What you need to know

Certain items located in China must be shipped using SpeedPAK (eBay’s cross-border shipping solution for deliveries originating from Greater China) or other eBay-approved shipping solutions.

Additionally, sellers who offer SpeedPAK as a shipping option for listings that ship to selected countries must ensure that they fulfil the orders using the buyer’s selected SpeedPAK service.

What is SpeedPAK?

SpeedPAK is the shipping solution jointly developed by eBay and its business strategic partner, Orange Connex, specifically for cross-border deliveries originating from Greater China. SpeedPAK offers fast handling and delivery times and has fully been integrated with eBay’s platform. Items shipped through SpeedPAK are protected by eBay’s relevant policies.
