For instance, if you offer <strong>car parts<\/strong> and want to\u00a0maximise your sales figures, it matters when you do it: a hot time would be in <strong>January, March, May<\/strong> and <strong>June<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, car parts seem a very good choice as they are popular among online buyers.

By focusing on less known local selling peaks on different markets, <strong>you can earn internationally even more than during the Christmas season.<\/strong> To achieve that, you need to understand how seasonality works internationally.<\/p>\n<p>For example, January and February is the carnival season in Germany and Italy. This is <strong>when and where you can sell big amounts of fancy dress costumes<\/strong>. May and July are a peak selling time in the fashion category in Germany and Australia. January, March and May peak in car parts sales in Germany and the UK.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Seasonality is often overlooked or misinterpreted by many international e-tailers. By focusing on less known local selling peaks on different markets, you can earn internationally even more than during the Christmas season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>How about the expectations of foreign buyers? How can you meet them, considering it\u2019s a more complex issue than dealing with local shoppers?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrzej:<\/strong> You may think that the price is the main factor that gets buyers interested in a product offer. However, our observations show that in international trade, it\u2019s not only about the lowest\u00a0price. What is extremely important is a<strong> quick delivery<\/strong> and <strong>managing customer expectations<\/strong> in this regard. You must make them feel at home and confident, especially if they order from a foreign seller.<\/p>\n<p>This is also what we take care of at Webinterpret. For instance, if a French buyer makes a purchase from a German seller, we want the buyer to feel confident about their foreign purchase and the delivery. We can, for instance, send an automatic email with shipping confirmation in the buyer\u2019s native language. This instils <strong>trust<\/strong> and helps to build <strong>customer loyalty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Now let\u2019s focus on regulations on international eBay sites. Can you give us some examples of when &#8216;there\u2019s a catch&#8217;?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-2914\" title=\"maximise_your_sales_ebay_expert\" src=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/maximise_your_sales_ebay_expert.jpg\" alt=\"maximise_your_sales_ebay_expert\" width=\"447\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/maximise_your_sales_ebay_expert.jpg 1956w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/maximise_your_sales_ebay_expert-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/maximise_your_sales_ebay_expert-1024x696.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/>Andrzej:<\/strong> It\u2019s easy to find plenty of<em> there\u2019s-a-catch<\/em> situations. Different eBay sites in various countries have <strong>different settings and regulations<\/strong> related to a plethora of aspects. You must make sure that you abide by them or you may be faced with eBay policy violation.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, local regulations and law tell you whether you are allowed to sell specific objects, e.g. <strong>knives on the German eBay site<\/strong>. It is not obvious what kind of knives you are allowed to sell<br \/>\non eBay.de. We want to address such issues at Webinterpret, making sure that forbidden items are automatically blacklisted on our system. Thus, we can save our sellers unnecessary hassle.<\/p>\n<p>There are also <strong>limits<\/strong> when it comes to <strong>delivery costs<\/strong> in specific categories. For example, if the delivery cost cannot exceed EUR 12 and you, as a seller, set it at EUR 20, we will make sure you\u00a0don\u2019t contravene the regulations. Hence, in this case we will subtract EUR 8 from the delivery cost and add this to the item price.<\/p>\n<p>Other regulations relate to the <strong>number of pictures<\/strong> you can add on eBay sites for free. On your domestic site, you are allowed 6 in a given category, but in a corresponding category on a different site you can add only 1. Of course, we will remove any pictures for you that exceed the limit. Webinterpret keeps an eye on such details so that you don\u2019t have to pay unnecessary insertion fees.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Different eBay sites in various countries have different settings and regulations related to a plethora of aspects. You must make sure that you abide by them or you may be faced with eBay policy violation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, I\u2019d like to mention <strong>product identifiers<\/strong>. On a domestic site in a given category you may not need a product identifier in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/support.webinterpret.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/206102468-How-do-you-handle-eBay-s-product-identifiers\">GTIN<\/a> (barcode number) on your listing. However, it may be required on a target site after the translation. Hence, we take care of item compliance with this regulation. A piece of advice: <strong>always add GTIN, even if it\u2019s not required<\/strong>. eBay is promoting items that have it and we are seeing a significant uplift in sales for such items.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of this kind are plentiful and regulations keep changing. The challenge is to keep up with new requirements. This is what we do in the interest of our customers and their increased revenue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2915 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/future_ebay_international_sales.jpg\" alt=\"future_ebay_international_sales\" width=\"582\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/future_ebay_international_sales.jpg 2023w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/future_ebay_international_sales-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/future_ebay_international_sales-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Finally, if you were to predict the future of eBay and the direction in which international sales are going, what would be your vision?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrzej:<\/strong> In my opinion, in the coming years <strong>the key goal for eBay<\/strong> is to find a balance between sellers\u2019 achieving what they want and improving customer experience. The requirement for product identifiers is a great move, resulting in more possibilities to market items via extra services, such as Google Shopping.
