Hi everybody!

The Community Chat will open at 2pm and will remain open until 3pm on Wednesday. After that it will be closed for further questions. Of course, we will continue to take care of answering any questions that may still be unanswered—We’ll get to everything as quickly as possible.

Please ask your questions in the thread below. In order to be able to answer your questions as quickly as possible, we ask you to have one question per post. Of course, you can make as many posts as you like in the Chat- the more the merrier!

Our eBay Community Team is made up of kat@ebay, marco@ebay and dave@ebay. Between us, we have knowledge in Buying, Selling, Fulfilment, Payments, and the Community itself. Anything we aren’t sure on we’ll know the people who will be! Please ask us any questions you may have and we’ll do all we can to support.

To ask your question, click Reply in the lower-right corner of this post, type your question, and click Reply between 2pm and 3pm. The community team will answer each incoming question in chronological order, and will quote the original question in each answer.

Please note that any reply without a question to the community team or discussion replies may be removed from the chat. We want to keep on track to get through as many questions as possible. We welcome all discussion to be moved to the discussion boards.

If you missed the weekly chat time, please ask your question in the community boards and tag us or we will be back next week with another chat!

Many thanks,

Hi guys... Does the 'exclude countries you don't ship to' function exclude those countries from GSP sales? I guess what I am really asking is... can I still use GSP to ship to countries outside of the EU and so avoid the GSPR requirements.

Thanks.

Hi @shave.india

Unfortunately we cant help with account related queries here, you will need to reach out to Customer Support who will be able to review your account with you.

In general, if we required you to upgrade your account to business you should have received an email with more information and the next steps.

Thanks,

Dave

Two weeks ago I posted about a delivery estimate issue and was asked to DM marco@ebay which I did. Marco replied saying he hoped to have a response by end of day. It's now 8 days and still no response.

Do you consider this good enough?

Hi, hope you are all having a lovely week. I would like to ask if you have any intnention to begin engaging with this thread?

https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Business-Seller-Board/GPSR-Compliance/m-p/7634192#M314468

It is the largest thread about the biggest upcoming change for sellers but has gone on for 20 pages now without anyone from eBay commenting. There are a lot of questions being asked and many confused sellers. With just two months to go I am sure many of us would appreciate eBay interacting with us on there.

Hi @iceblue_uk ,

Thanks for post. If you exclude the EU countries then you should still be able to use GSP for the other countries.

Thank you,

Kat

Hi sophiestreasuretrove, thanks for your question.

Could you please PM me a screenshot of what that looks like from your end? We have a technical issue causing this at the moment, so your account might be impacted by this, once you PM me the screenshot, I will take a further look. If it's not that, we can see what's happening to fix it anyway.

Thank you,

Marco

Hi jazz_up_your_shop, thanks for your post.

I haven't had any updates on this other than the one I shared with you, which is why I haven't been able to provide you with further updates.

Once they come back to me, I will reach out to you as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Marco

Hi @aj_swift ,

I don't think the tags worked from earlier as it needs to be @ and then our names. I'll have a look at the thread to see the questions.

Thank you,

Hello. Can you tell us anything about the "It's free to sell" (with no details) pop ups that many people have received in past 24 hours?

Re: Weekly Chat with the eBay Community Team- 25.09.24 @2pm

martmarg41 — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 13:27:40 GMT

The recent 'Free to Sell' pop-up is causing a lot of confusion. What does it actually mean?

Hi @peturning

At the moment, I don't have additional information on this. As soon as there are any updates, we will get them posted.

Thanks,
