Are ISRAEL & the UAE considered "Asia" as far as eBay Shipping is concerned? If not, what *are* they considered? TIA!!
No matter what dimensions and weight I entered, my sale to Israel had no eBay Shipping Labels available. I need to know because the shipping was very high at PO, so will have to amend all my listings. Thank you!

·1 month agoThere are a few countries that are listed more than once.
Russia is listed in Asia and in Europe.
Israel is one of the countries I don't ship to because too many shipments have had INR claims.

·1 month agoGeographically speaking, any country in the Middle East (east of the Red Sea) is part of Asia.

·1 month agoTrue, but for some reason eBay separates Asia and Middle East for options in shipping and categories for coins/stamps/banknotes. Southeast Asia is also a shipping region with eBay.

OP1 month agoThanks peeps! Of course they are the Middle East, it's just, that is never a "Region" offered to me, and then I got that sale to an Israeli address. Had to go to PO in person, very expensive. I have not yet sold any coins, stamps and banknotes. I did know about the pause due to war, thanks for the reminder! (That's not sarcasm).

·1 month agoIsreal and UAE are considered "middle east" (at least for listing categories of coins, stamps and banknotes).
Lots of countries in the middle east have no shipping options right now, hopefully they reinstate that soon.
