Royal Mail International services including Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed, Royal Mail International Signed and Royal Mail International Standard are now available to eBay merchants.
Good news! It might take you a few hours to access your eBay account thanks to the introduction of 2FA but once you’re in, feel your frustrations drift away with the availability of Royal Mail international services.
Sellers will now find the additional services available in the existing eBay Royal Mail shipping journeys and can buy and print labels in the same way as they do for domestic Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide services.
This follows eBay’s enrolment into IOSS last year, enabling business customers to download eBay orders directly to their Royal Mail business account. It helps to ensure a simpler process for orders being sent to the EU. With the launch of these services on the eBay platform, non-account business and consumer sellers now have the same easy access to IOSS as business customers to the EU and global markets.
Parcel Collect
eBay marketplace sellers who purchase Royal Mail International services will also be able to book a collection via Royal Mail’s Parcel Collect. Marketplace sellers will also be able to use over 14,000 access points including parcel postboxes, Post Office and Royal Mail Customer Service Points.
eBay serves as a gateway for over 300,000 small businesses in the UK to access the marketplace’s global audience of buyers. Alongside the eBay Global Shipping Programme, we welcome Royal Mail International as yet another means of support for sellers to start or boost their export sales, presenting more choice and flexibility for the diverse range of businesses on the platform.
