UK Private Seller Global Shipping UK Cost

[bobbycrook]

Hello,

I have read the Global Shipping Program and looked on the forums but cant find the answer to my particular question.

I have some items that I only sell in the UK but are around £6-7. 

The postage I charge is £2.99 but if someone buys more than one item, then postage is free.

If I enabled GSP, and the buyer only bought one item which would incur the £2.99 postage, will I still get that to cover the cost to the International Shipping centre in the UK as it makes it sound like I would have to pay that.  If this is the case, then there isn't much point in enabling it but hopefully someone can clarify this for me.

Many Thanks

As long as the postage is shown as 'buyer pays', then your international buyers would pay that to you and then an additional charge for international shipping which would be paid to Ebay.

As you are making items to sell, you do need to upgrade to a business account.  Private accounts are for selling your own items; because you are making multiple new items to sell, you need a business account.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to respond and for clearing up my confusion.

Understood regarding the business account.  Its on my list of things to sort out and will get that upgraded.

Thanks again !
