eBay International Shipping Services
Instantly expand your marketplace to millions of buyers worldwide
Selling internationally on eBay is the fast, effective way to rapidly grow your sales. For example, Canada has around 27 million e-commerce buyers, and over 80% of the UK and German population buy online. Add in countries such as Australia, the UK and Japan, and your potential growth is even greater.
