eBay Wants You To Pay For International Exposure

eBay Adds Fee-Based Option for Increased International Exposure

eBay is introducing a paid option for US and Canadian sellers to gain exposure on eBay.co.uk default search results. eBay UK and eBay Ireland sellers will also have an upgrade option to list on the North American sites.

Currently sellers have the option of choosing World Wide Shipping when listing on eBay.com for no extra fees, but their items only show up on another international site when buyers specifically look for international items using Advanced Search features. Otherwise sellers have to create a separate listing on other international eBay sites and pay full listing fees for those sites. eBay spokesperson Usher Lieberman said sellers still have those options, but said “Paying the fee gains sellers much more exposure through default search results.”
