Test: US/UK Exposure in Several Categories such as Art, Collectible

Starting in the next few days, ebay will be running a test in many collectible-oriented categories such as Art. When your items meet ebay's eligibility criteria, they will appear on ebay UK site by default (assuming you've indicated you're willing to ship to the UK). Similarly, items listed in the UK will be shown here on eBay.com, as well.

ebay's Sellers have been asking how they can better reach potential buyers who rarely leave their local sites. ebay's believe this test will be good for the sellers, whose items will be available to a bigger pool of buyers – and for our buyers, who will have access to a wider array of unique items they're interested in from other countries.

To be eligible, ebay's sellers must have 100 feedback with at least 98% positive. To be included in this test, your items must meet the following criteria:

  • Be listed in the Collectibles, Antiques, Stamps, Coins, Art, or Pottery & Glass categories
  • Offer PayPal to ensure easy Cross-Border payments
  • Specify global or UK shipping options and pricing to help our buyers see the full cost of your item
  • Be located in the US
eBay will have this test to last until early next year.
