Important Updates to the Direct Shipping Policy for Cross-Border Transactions shipped from Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong And Taiwan) – SpeedPAK Shipping Mandate
Dear eBay Seller,
Since 1st July 2021, eBay has implemented a Value-Added Tax collection and payment policy for transactions shipped to EU, in which none of the items have a unit price exceeding 150 Euros. With this, SpeedPAK has arranged for a faster customs clearance channel to improve the timeliness of deliveries. To reflect these improved handling times, eBay has shortened the estimated delivery times for its SpeedPAK Economy and SpeedPAK Standard shipping options.
For transactions in which the unit price of an item shipped to Europe is greater than 150 Euros, it is required by EU laws and regulations for the item to be delivered to the European buyer on a Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) basis. In order to cope with the longer customs clearance time for products delivered by DDU, the SpeedPAK DDU Shipping Service has now been launched on the main eBay websites (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, France, Italy, Spain and Canada).
We recommend that SpeedPAK users adopt the SpeedPAK DDU Shipping Service shipping option for all items which are being delivered to Europe, with a unit price which higher than 150 Euros. Sellers who continue to adopt SpeedPAK Standard and Economy options that are inconsistent with the projected delivery times, may find that this leads to an increase of “Items Not Received” disputes which will in turn affect seller account performance.
Further to the above, eBay will be updating the SpeedPAK Shipping Mandate policy as follows:
For all items shipping from Mainland China to Germany, France, Italy and Spain with a unit price of more than 150 Euros (excluding shipping cost): Sellers are required to provide SpeedPAK DDU or Express shipping options and may not provide SpeedPAK Standard or Economy options. Transactions must be fulfilled by using shipping services that are aligned with the buyer’s selected shipping option.
This policy will take effect on November 21 2021 (transaction date). The latest requirements after the policy adjustment are as follows:
| Evaluation Module | Shipping from Mainland China to | Listing Site | Unit Price of Items to meet the compliance requirements (including the average shipping cost of a single item) | Compliance Requirements (Compliant Transactions must meet all of the below requirements) | Compliance Ratio****
(this is the minimum the percentage of transactions which must be Compliant Transactions) |
