eBay news

To further improve the delivery experience of buyers, eBay has updated the classification of shipping methods and logistics service providers (LSPs) used by eBay sellers. This means that you may need to change the shipping methods offered in your listings based on the LSPs that you ultimately use to ship your products.

It is strongly recommended that you offer your shipping methods as accurately as possible that will not only help you to improve your performance on eBay but also increase your sales.

Due to the local situation in Israel that is affecting regional and international sellers, eBay is putting in place seller protections to reduce the impact these events will have on their accounts.

Starting from July 3, 2023, eBay will launch the Shipping Performance Policy – Item Not Received Rate.

Sellers with a higher than market average “Item not received” rate may be subject to a range of actions, such as eBay ending or removing your listings, enforcing buying or selling restrictions, adjusting your selling limits and/or suspending all relevant accounts.

As a private seller, you can now benefit from a 0% Final value fee on all items listed on ebay.de, in addition to the standard 3% International selling fee.

eBay has announced the launch of the Quick setup feature. It's a simpler way to create Advanced campaigns. You will select listings and eBay will take care of the rest of the setup — organizing your listings into ad groups and selecting the suggested keywords, keyword match types and bids, based on best practices.

Starting July 1, 2022, all eBay sellers who ship orders to Germany must abide by the German Packaging Act (also known as VerpackG or German EPR Law). As a marketplace operator, eBay is legally required to verify the compliance and impose restrictions on non-compliant sellers.

Starting June 1, 2022, the ad fees of the Promoted Listings Standard service are calculated based on the total amount of the sale.
