Frequently asked questions about eBay's overseas warehouse access rules:

Q: I have always used self-built warehouses, and the delivery time has always met the requirements. Does this mean that I can no longer use them now that the new overseas warehouse policy has been released?

A: If you sell COVID-19 related products, you need to use eBay-approved overseas warehouses to ship the products.

For other categories, the current overseas warehouse service standards do not have any requirements for the type of overseas warehouses used by sellers.

However, if you use an eBay-approved overseas warehouse for shipment and meet the relevant conditions, delivery delays and disputes over non-receipt of goods will be protected.

Q: My overseas warehouse is in Germany, but there is no problem with delivery time to other European countries, and I can guarantee on-time delivery, so I always write "local delivery" when posting. Is this against the rules?

Answer: If the location of the item is not filled in accurately, it is considered dishonest behavior.

Whether the seller is consistent in what he says and what he does is also one of the factors that win the favor of buyers. Even if the shipping time is not much different, if the buyer sees that the place of shipment is different from the location of the listed item, he will feel cheated to some extent. Not to mention whether he will get a bad review on the spot, if there is any problem in the transaction later, it will be more difficult to deal with. Therefore, if the inventory is in the German overseas warehouse, please be sure to fill in the location of the goods as Germany when posting.
