BKKdreaming Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Hi right now we have a Ebay.com account signed up in Thailand and selling in English on the main Ebay.Com website, We would like to expand a little and try selling on the other Ebay websites . But how do you do it if you do not have any European ID etc If you have done it please let me know what needs ,to be done . we are still limited to 50 sales a month , I am not sure if that includes only the Ebay.com site or all the Ebay sites thanks for your help
FalangBaa Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 You're not allowed to run a business on Ebay selling out of Thailand unless you have a work permit, and no Thai company is going to give you a work permit for that, so selling on Ebay from Thailand is work reserved for Thais only. Your business is illegal and I suggest you shut it down before you get caught. 2

Actually you can get a WP for selling online as long as you have the Thai staff required for a WP OP you do not need separate ebay ID's, simply log on to the ebay site you wish to sell on and begin to list, it's as simple as that If you are limited to the amount you can sell then just list 1 item on each ebay site to try it out and get a feel of how it works 2

Ok,,,,,,,first it is in her name.....I am just helping list things, she does the packing and shipping and getting the items to sell. Its been going for 6 months now, and we are not trying to get rich ! 5-10k baht a month is fine , of course more is better its her money and hopefully a little lesson on selling on the internet. I will suggest to her that she shuts it down , I am sure that will go over well ! 1

This will allow you to be able to sell more items per month If you meet all the criteria for you to be able to have your selling limits upped (look on the ebay help pages for more info) then give ebay a call, they may be able to help you out If you have been selling for 6 months without any issues your limit should be more than 50 items per month
BKKdreaming Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks for your reply, it is only registered as private , what would you need to register as a business when located in Thailand ? thanks
NeverSure Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I could be wrong, but it seems to me that when I list an item in the US, there is a check box for "US only" or other countries. The next time you list, watch for that. 1
flyingdoc Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Ask eBay helpline! That's what they are there for!

The next time you list, watch for that. yes there is , but they have to be on Ebay.com to see that , if you click that it will then give you the option to sell overseas and you have to give the shipping rate, But I do not believe it will not show up on Ebay UK except at the very end of a search if there are not many hits,
darrendsd Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks for your reply, it is only registered as private , what would you need to register as a business when located in Thailand ? thanks Go to your my ebay, then click on "Account" then "Business information" then change it there, it's easy enough and requires no paperwork etc

crazykopite Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 As an individual I purchase from eBay all the time I have lived in Thailand for over 8years never had a problem if I want to sell I sell as an individual you do not have to be a company to sell or buy on eBay I have dealt in China,UK,USA and Hongkong 1

rotary Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 You're not allowed to run a business on Ebay selling out of Thailand unless you have a work permit, and no Thai company is going to give you a work permit for that, so selling on Ebay from Thailand is work reserved for Thais only. Your business is illegal and I suggest you shut it down before you get caught. Good advice! Selling on Ebay is a good job for a woman so I suggest the OP retires and his wife should start her own Ebay business.
kaldoverde Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 You simply need to go to the relevant ebay website and create your listing from there using your .com login credentials. For example, if you start a listing in the .co.uk site, that listing will show in the uk, if you start it on the .de it will show in Germany, and so on. As someone already pointed out, you can tick a box to allow international sales, which means your item will appear on all ebay websites. Only difference will be the order in which it shows (when someone does a search for it in the site the listing was created it will rank higher in the list than when someone searches for it from a different ebay site). 1
schietkop Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Hello OP, I have an ecommerce store in Thailand, only selling to Thailand, electronics. Just wondering which forwarder you use to ship outside of Thailand? Before I had huge problems with my imports (being charged 30% duty etc) but now I have the "correct" forwarder. Its more easy to ship outwards? With regards to your question, indeed you can get a WP. It all comes down to having a good lawyer and some money. And yes, you do need staff, my GF's family all working for me ! 1
