eBay Global Shipping Updates- Impact to the Delivery Timelines Posted Copy link

Dear Sellers,

Greetings from eBay Global Shipping!

This is with regards to the current situation in Canada which is also spreading to other countries. Due to the ongoing “Freedom Convoy” agitation by truckers in Canada which is further spreading to EU countries (France, Germany, Belgium & Netherlands for now) along with New Zealand & Australia, there is a high chance of impact to the B2C/ D2C package delivery timelines. Requesting you to kindly inform your consignee regarding the same to avoid account defects.

Please feel free to contact us or your eBay Account manager in case of any further queries.

Following the strategic alliance between FedEx and Delhivery Limited effective December 5, 2021, FedEx will provide pick-up and delivery services for international shipments in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, while Delhivery will provide pick-up and delivery services in all other locations across India.

  • If FedEx has not picked up your item on the scheduled pickup date, please reschedule pickup for the next day. Please note FedEx’s pickup reference number is valid only for the scheduled date. 
  • On eBay Global Shipping (“EGS”), you must reschedule pickup on the same day the pickup is scheduled. For eg: If the scheduled pickup date is December 20, 2021, you may reschedule only till end of day on December 20, 2021. 
  • If you don’t reschedule pick up on the same day, please cancel the AWB and generate a new AWB against the order.

Important update: Changes in European Union VAT rules w.e.f 1st July 2021 Posted Copy link

Dear Seller,

Greetings from eBay!

This is in reference with our AB post dated 10 th September 2020 wherein we had communicated about the changes to VAT import regulations for the UK and EU in 2021.

Further, note that for eBay orders placed after 1 July 2021, where eBay has collected import VAT on your shipment into the EU (up to a consignment value of €150), eBay’s IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) number will be available.

To offer you a smooth shipping experience, eBay Global Shipping (“EGS”) will pass on eBay’s IOSS number for shipments to EU electronically to the selected logistic service provider for consignments up to a value of €150 with effect from 22 nd July 2021.

It is important that you follow the below mentioned Do’s and Don’ts while booking shipments to EU and UK on EGS.

Do’s:

  • Ensure correct value of goods in the invoice: The value of the goods on the invoice and airwaybill (“AWB”) must match the value of your eBay transaction order.
  • Proof of Purchase: Send the copy of your eBay transaction order/proof of purchase with your shipment to the logistic service provider.
  • Description of Goods: Ensure that the item description in the AWB and invoice is simple and precise so that custom authorities are able to identify the goods.

Don’ts:

  • Multiple orders under one AWB: The consolidation of multiple orders under one AWB will not be accepted.
  • Multiple line items under one order: Orders with more than one line item cannot be split and booked under more than one AWB.
  • Prohibited/Restricted goods: All goods falling under prohibited category are excluded from IOSS number arrangement. eBay will not collect import VAT on such goods and therefore, do not share the IOSS number for such goods.
  • B2C Shipment: The shipment should be a B2C shipment (i.e. you are selling products to end consumers).

For any further clarification please reach out to the eBay global shipping team.

Dear Seller,

Greetings from eBay!

 

As you may know that EU is imposing ICS2.0 to further regulate the provisions of complete and accurate customs data in order to optimize security and safety screening, combat counterfeiting and piracy, prevent unfair competition and ensure full collection of duties and taxes.

DHL Express Guidelines: Kindly note the following guidelines from DHL Express for your necessary actions:

 

  • An accurate goods description on airway bill and invoice- The description of goods must have its trade name and not the generic name such as samples, bags, spares parts, equipment, apparel, gifts, etc.

  • Complete line items description with correct HSN code - The invoice must contain complete line items description along with the correct HSN code.

  • Ensure correct value of goods in the invoice – The customs (especially EU & UK) are very focused on the valuation of goods. It is pertinent to mention that your invoice must have the correct value of goods. Please ensure that value of the goods on the invoice and airwaybill are same as per your eBay transaction order. DHL Express requires you to send copy of your eBay transaction order with your shipment for smooth custom clearance.

 

Packages with inaccurate descriptions or incorrect value of goods may delay custom clearance process and attract fines by the relevant customs authorities. It is likely that the shipments may be refused/returned to originating country at shipper’s cost by the logistic carrier.

 

You are requested to follow the requisite compliance strictly while shipping to destination countries (including UK and EU) to ensure that your shipments are delivered quickly and enable a smooth shipping experience.

 

You may reach out to your Account Manager for your query/clarification, if any.

 

Thanks & Regards

Compliance requirements for Shipments moving to EU and UK via DHL Express Posted Copy link

Dear “Seller”,

 

 

Greetings from eBay!

 

As you may know that EU is imposing ICS2.0 to further regulate the provisions of complete and accurate customs data in order to optimize security and safety screening, combat counterfeiting and piracy, prevent unfair competition and ensure full collection of duties and taxes.

 

DHL Express Guidelines: Kindly note the following guidelines from DHL Express for your necessary actions:

 

  • An accurate goods description on airway bill and invoice- The description of goods must have its trade name and not the generic name such as samples, bags, spares parts, equipment, apparel, gifts, etc.
     
  • Complete line items goods description with correct HSN code - The invoice must contain complete line items goods description along with the correct HSN code.
     
  • Ensure correct value of goods in the invoice – The customs (especially EU & UK) are very focused on the valuation of goods. It is pertinent to mention that your invoice must have the correct value of goods. Please ensure that value of the goods on the invoice and airwaybill are same as per your eBay transaction order. We recommend to send copy of your eBay transaction order with your shipment for smooth custom clearance.

 

Packages with inaccurate descriptions or incorrect value of goods may delay custom clearance process and attract fines by the relevant customs authorities. It is likely that the shipments may be refused/returned to originating country at shipper’s cost by the logistic carrier.

 

You are requested to follow the requisite compliance strictly while shipping to destination countries (including UK and EU) to ensure that your shipments are delivered quickly and enable a smooth shipping experience.

 

You may reach out to your Account Manager for your query/clarification, if any.

 

Thanks & Regards

eBay Global Shipping - Ship Smarter With Bulk Shipments!!! Posted Copy link

Dear Seller

Greetings from eBay!

It has been a great journey so far and we believe it will only get better in the coming years. Effective 15th January 2020, the bulk booking feature has gone live on the ebay Global Shipping portal. This feature will enable you to have a smooth experience while shipping all your bulk orders.

 

What is Bulk Booking-

 

Bulk booking feature can be used if you have multiple shipments to book. Through this feature, you can book multiple shipments at one go. The bulk shipment feature will allow you to save time and the hassle of booking shipments manually by entering package details in one by one.

 

How does it work?

 

The bulk shipping tool will automatically download your sold orders in a CSV file. You can then enter the required details in the file which you have downloaded (For e.g. parcel dimensions, logistic partner) and upload your orders by clicking on the “upload orders” button. Once the orders are uploaded, you can select the item you wish to book by simply clicking on the book shipment button.

Note- Kindly enter all the details in the CSV file. In case any field is left blank, you will receive an error post uploading the CSV file and the details then will have to be re-entered.

 

Benefits of Bulk booking-

 

  • Your time is precious, so it is far more efficient to upload all of your orders in one go rather than manually booking the orders one by one.
  • Quick and easy capture of all your orders in a CSV template.
