BY DEFAULT – that means eBay is out to screw the seller – better be careful.

2) eBay does NOT have clear rules on what items can be sold overseas. “Are you aware that most common brands of watches cant be sold using EIS due to (%100 fake) manufacturer VERO complaints? Theres no list – but this is eBay – EVERYTHING is 1/2 baked.

3) “Harmonized System (HS) Codes will be required for items being exported to the EU” – no big deal – the info is on USPS.com – even the dolts at eBay can figure it out

4) “European Union rules now require detailed product descriptions.” ok ……. Nintendo Switch, 32mb, included Mario game, complete, new – upc XXXXXXXXX. DONE – was it that hard?

5) “Increased regulations surrounding HAZMAT goods” How many people (show of hands) are sending HAZMAT items? Even pocket knives arent HAZMAT … what on earth are you shipping?

6) “One of the requirements of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) is that sellers must offer a minimum of 14-day returns.” – Oh Really? Come get “us”. “The EU” cant FORE anyone (except maybe eBay) to do anything about it. Are they going to come to my house from Luxembourg? Are they going to try and DEBIT me for something? (good luck trying THAT – they have no access to anything and EVEN IF eBay (the criminals) give out info – you simply STOP PAYMENT.

EIS is eBays way of trying to increase EU sales – great – but THESE issues are all THEIR problem, not a sellers. “With great profits come great responsibilities”.

I had turned it off last year, then eBay suckered me back in because they said the NEW Hub would handle EVERYTHING. Now they’re saying I have to do all this stuff (which eBay has NOT notified me about!)? I knew at least some of these laws existed but when eBay said the Hub would handle EVERYTHING, I made the mistake of believing eBay. I will deal with international orders on my own if/when I get them.
