- 1Complete the settings by September 25

- 3Sellers must actively select logistics options
What happened?
Industry media outlet EcommerceBytes reported that eBay recently issued a logistics-related reminder to platform sellers, requiring them to configure specific options by September 25. The reminder concerns the discounts applicable when sellers purchase shipping labels through eBay.
According to the report, sellers need to actively complete the relevant selections or settings in the platform’s seller backend. If they do not complete the process by the deadline, it may affect the existing discounts available when purchasing shipping labels through the platform. The matter concerns logistics options during order shipment, and eBay is therefore asking sellers to pay attention to backend notifications and the relevant settings pages.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The key implication is that eBay sellers’ logistics costs may depend on actively selecting options in the backend, rather than automatically carrying over the previous shipping arrangements. Reviewing listings without checking logistics settings can lead to errors in shipping costs and profit calculations. Highest-priority action: This week, log in to the eBay seller backend, verify shipping-label settings, discount eligibility and the relevant deadline, and save a record of the completed settings.
