What are eBay International Standard Delivery costs?

Outside the Global Shipping Program

If the seller is not using the Global Shipping Program, then shipping or delivery costs are set by the seller to reflect the cost of the courier or the shipping company delivering the item to your address. It is worth noting that import fees and taxes may be payable, and it is up to the buyer to settle these as the item reaches the border.

Seller using Global Shipping Program

If the seller is using eBay Global Shipping Program, then international standard shipping costs are set by eBay from their warehouse to your address. You will be reqired to make two payments, the first to cover the cost of shipping from the seller to the Global Shipping Centre and another amount to cover the international delivery and will also include an amount to cover import fees and taxes due at the border.

The Global shipping program ensures that:

Worldwide delivery can be made
Tracking is available
Customs fees are settled before the item reaches the border
