Here's the announcement:
When you choose this optional upgrade in the Sell Your Item form, your item will be displayed in regular search results for buyers shopping on eBay UK. This way, your item receives added exposure for less than it would cost to list directly on both sites. Although this feature is only available for eBay UK today, we'll be adding more markets as time goes on.
Please note that this feature does not change anything with respect to Canadian listings appearing on eBay.com. Today, when a seller lists an item on eBay.ca and indicates they will ship to the USA, that listing shows up in regular search results on eBay.com just as if it was listed on eBay.com. We have no plans to change that arrangement.
Outline of Cross-Border Options for Your Listing
We saw a lot of good questions about sellers' international options after our original announcement. Here's an outline to help Canadian sellers understand the different ways to get seen by buyers in the UK.
When you list on eBay.ca and select "international shipping" on your listing, UK buyers will see it when:
they customize their search to find international items - your listing will appear within the regular search results, along with UK-based items.
their search returns a low number of UK-based items - relevant international items, such as yours, will be displayed in a box underneath the results (just like on the Canadian site).
If you list directly on eBay UK, your listing will be displayed in search results just like any other UK-based listing. This would be completely separate from your Canadian listings, and you would pay the UK listing fees.
NEW!! - If you list your item on eBay.ca with the new International Visibility listing upgrade, your item will be shown in regular UK search results.
Now sellers also have the option of using our International Site Visibility upgrade to give the items you've already listed in the Canada or the US extra exposure in the UK. Simply select the "International Site Visibility" upgrade during the listing process, and your item will be shown in the regular UK search results like other UK-based items.
Important note: Whenever selling internationally, make sure to specify your international shipping costs. Buyers are more likely to purchase items with this information, and it can positively affect where your item is displayed in search results when the buyer is using the Best Match sort order.
International Site Visibility Listing Upgrade Fees
In the Canada, the fees to use this optional upgrade are as follows:
Start Price (US$ or C$) Upgrade Fee (US$ or C$)
$0.01 - 9.99 10 cents
$10 - 49.99 20 cents
$50+ 40 cents
I hope this helps more sellers increase their global reach and expand their businesses. For all the details, please see our help page.
Note that this feature will only be available for listings on eBay Canada’s English selling flows. It will not be supported on French Canadian selling flows.
Hope this explains it better,
Susan
