International trading policy

Listing items for sale internationally is a great way to help increase your sales, but it’s important to make sure your items aren’t prohibited on our global sites.

Members are responsible for checking that their transactions are lawful in the buyer’s country, as well as in their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I stop people bidding on my listing if the item is prohibited in their country?

When creating a listing, you have several options for limiting the countries where the item will appear. For example, you can set up business policies about postage, remove posting internationally, specify locations you don’t post to, or set buyer requirements. Please see our full policy guidelines below for more details on how to do this.

Is there anything I need to know when buying from an overseas seller?

If you’re buying from a seller overseas, you should make sure the items comply with import laws in your country.
