UK Listings Not Displaying on eBay US

As requested by anita@ebay this is a new thread on the topic.

 

I have somewhere in the region of 480 items listed on my eBay UK store. They are all listed with worldwide shipping via eBay GSP.

 

If I go to https://ebay.co.uk/str/superchallenge I see the following:-

However, if I got to https://ebay.com/str/superchallenge I see the following:-

All of the items that don't show up in the US are in the Video Games & Consoles > Video Games category which, as far as I'm aware, shouldn't be restricted.

 

If I use a US-based VPN and search eBay US, I can find my items via search. Item 186164956787 for example:-

That shows up with the ability to purchase and ship via GSP without a problem. However, if I click on the "Seller's other items" link, I just get 4 items showing that are listed in the Movies & TV > VHS Tapes section. None of my items from the Video Games & Consoles > Video Games category show up.

 

I know that GSP to the US is working, as I sold a video game (item 186121288148) to a chap from Louisville, Colorado on November 12th. He must have found it via search, but if the category was restricted, surely he wouldn't have been able to make a purchase?

 

I'm also able to see GSP items in the Video Games & Consoles > Video Games category from US sellers to buy in the UK, such as https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/139973/i.html?_ssn=dabroughto_0&store_name=garagesaledansvideogamestore&_...

 

In short, if American users click "Seller's other items" or go to my store, they can't see the items that I have that are available for them to purchase, even though the items are GSP-enabled.

 

(I should also add that if I add Royal Mail International Tracked to the US as a postage option, it doesn't seem to change the situation.)

This isn't a particularly new fee - it's been around for quite a while. I've seen mentions of it going back to at least October. The fee is waived if you have a Featured or Anchor store subscription, as far as I'm aware.

Re: UK Listings Not Displaying on eBay US

Just lost my eBay US top-rated seller status due to not selling enough to the US.

 

Not really surprising really, when my store has shown as empty and "Seller's Other Items" shows that I have nothing in stock when viewed from ebay.com. For 6 months and counting.
