In this hour-long webinar, you’ll be invited to join a discussion about the first 42 days of GPSR with advice, guidance and tips from a panel of experts who are supporting businesses through this new era. Further details from the UK Export Academy can be found below.

What you’ll learn
- Learn how businesses are coping with the new GPSR frameworks
- Understand what challenges it has presented and how to mitigate accordingly
- Hear from organisations that are helping businesses like yours to navigate these new regulations
Description (from the UK Export Academy)
“Since the EU General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR) came into force on 13 December, UK businesses have been working hard to navigate the new rules. Lessons have been learned along the way and as many questions have been raised as there are answers. We now know a bit more about how GPSR works in practice for UK businesses sending goods into the EU and thought it would be a good time to share that working knowledge with you”.
GPSR: Reminder of key information for UK sellers
GPSR does not apply to sales to UK buyers, with the exception of Northern Ireland. So, eBay.co.uk listings offered for sale to non-Northern Ireland UK buyers will not be impacted by GPSR.
GPSR also requires that information is provided about products - there are no changes required to your account. In the case of missing GPSR information for a specific listing, we may put the listing in question on hold, or restrict its visibility in the EU and/or Northern Ireland. However, there should not be GPSR-related action at an account level unless a relevant amount of listings are reported or a seller repeatedly violates requirements after suitable warnings.
Impacted listing(s) will come off hold or have visibility restored when the required GPSR information is provided, unless there are other reasons the listing is on hold. There should not be any impact to that listing’s history or search ranking. If a listing is put on hold, we’ll be sure to reach out to sellers via email, message centre and other relevant channels.
