Compared with the US eBay account, what are the disadvantages of Hong Kong eBay?

A. Goods posted by local sellers → B. Goods posted by foreign sellers in the local market → C. Goods posted by foreign sellers in foreign countries. Therefore, eBay accounts registered in the United States and the United Kingdom have the most favorable and relaxed policies in the world, which is what all eBay sellers want to have.

Let’s first look at some of the advantages of a US eBay account:

1. Goods posted by US accounts on US platforms and goods posted by UK accounts on UK platforms, in addition to having the highest priority, will also appear in the C-category goods of other countries' platforms. (Foreign platforms such as Australia, the UK, Hong Kong, etc., often have goods posted on US platforms in the C-category goods) The exposure rate is very high, so US account sellers often have 1/5 of their orders coming from other countries. When posting goods (delivery range), EBAYUS (USA) and EBAYUK (UK) can choose many countries and regions. Therefore, EBAYHK can search for goods from EBAYUS or other sites. But other sites cannot search for EBAYHK's goods.

Simply put, at present, users in mainland China must register an account at eBay Hong Kong site. Then use the account registered at eBay Hong Kong site to log in to your target market, such as eBay sites in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, etc. to sell. Currently, very few users publish products on the Hong Kong site.

2. In addition to the highest priority level A, US and UK accounts also enjoy the preferential policies of the US and UK eBay platforms for local registered users. The first 50 listings per month are free of charge.

3. US and UK accounts, whether ordinary users (personal accounts) or business users (business accounts), can purchase the "store discount package". Accounts from other countries cannot purchase it. (The US site is the most frequent eBay site in the world, and buyers from other countries often visit it, so it is a prerequisite to choose the US site to list products.)

4. For the same product listed on eBay, the transaction volume of sellers from the United States and the United Kingdom is more than three times that of sellers from China.

5. Increase sales prices. For the same product, the transaction price of American and British sellers can be 30-40% higher than that of Chinese sellers, and sales volume will not decrease. In fact, sales volume can even be much higher than that of low-priced Chinese sellers.

Let’s take a look at the shortcomings of Hong Kong eBay accounts:

1. Products posted by Hong Kong accounts on Hong Kong platforms can only be viewed in Hong Kong and mainland China, and will not appear on foreign platforms. (Foreign platforms such as Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, etc. will list products in categories A, B, and C, but products posted on Hong Kong platforms will not appear in category C.) When EBAYHK (Hong Kong) posts products (delivery range) it only has Hong Kong and China.

2. Hong Kong accounts can list on platforms in the United States and other regions, but they must pass the "International Multinational Seller Verification". The products listed belong to local Class B products and can be browsed by local buyers, but their priority level is lower than that of sellers with local accounts in the United States. At the same time, they do not enjoy the preferential policies of the US eBay platform.

3. Hong Kong accounts cannot purchase "Store Discount Packages".
