Option to send invoices disappeared

Option on sold listings to ‘send payment details’ has disappeared and I’m unable to send people invoices for combined orders like I normally do. I did a live chat with customer service, but I don’t really think they knew what I was talking about.

 

I have buyers waiting to pay, but are reluctant to pay for the entire postage cost in one go and have me refund due to the amount of money they would have in limbo. 

anybody else having the same problem? Anyone at eBay able to confirm it’s being looked into so I can tell my buyers?

Re: Option to send invoices disappeared

Global shipping program is not compulsory I believe. but no one has helped me as to why simple delivery domestic postage is turning of international postage after listing in scheduled listing and when item goes live and overseas buyer wins item. that I cant send invoice and overseas buyer cant pay or add money / send invoice from there end meaning loss of sale / sales

Re: Option to send invoices disappeared

It appears Ebay are now charging sellers to send overseas, so I'm
deselecting international postage each time.

Re: Option to send invoices disappeared

Not had that problem yet. but I think every thing will go simple delivery via domestic postage and at moment simple domestic postage is over riding normal domestic postage in favour of simply delivery. what no one has explained is why its also turning off international postage option when item goes live

Ebay charge you to list item so USA and Canada ebayer's can see what you're selling on there eBay sights think .4p or 8p is that correct

Ebay has always charged extra for International sales (currently 3% of the total amount paid by the buyer from Private Sellers) as it costs them more to process those sales.

I presume you are referring to the optional upgrade for international visibility on eBay.com and eBay.ca.  The charge for that, for Private Sellers, is currently 30p for fixed price listings and between 5 and 15p for auction-style listings depending on start price.

As far as I'm aware, as a seller I haven't paid extra for international
sales previously...

Re: Option to send invoices disappeared

i have just been informed by eBay that any sales via UK to USA will not be able to send a invoice with the postage amount because of tariff problem regard less if you have enrolled in GPS [ which is not compulsory ] or not . it will not matter if item is made in UK or under the $800 sales limit . so if you have sold a item to USA you have lost a sale and will have cancel order until EBAY sorted out. this is the message you will receive . invoices cannot be sent for item where eBay manages all or part of the postage these item are excluded rom the invoice .
1st noticed on 24 July . customer services had no idea or knowledge of this till i spoke to a eBay overseas specialist agent today

Thank goodness for other selling platforms which DO allow for sales to the USA - ( i sent an item to Utah, in Yesterdays mail) .

ebay got cold feet on on European destinations back last summer, which resulted in a cessation of those sales, other platforms assisted sellers, hence that trade continued with their  aid.

You have never been able to send invoices for items sent through the GSP, do that's nothing new.

 but USA customs require tax No and other detail from buyer 

 

Ive never come across that - all i ever  quote is the platforms 'IM' number as the platform collects Taxes for the receiving country.

Well apart from maybe ebay ?

 

Was there an actual start date to this nonsense?
