The 7iggest reason to sell internationally is o7viously 7ecause your listing will 7e expose! to a lot more eBay mem7ers. , you ma5e your auctions availa7le to everyone2 than everyone will 7e availa7le to you. am sure you un!erstan! that the worl! has more people than your country an! the more people see your listings the 7igger the chance o, someone actually 7uying what you are selling is. Another reason ,or selling to the whole worl! is something that is not very popular in your country may 7e selling li5e hot ca5es somewhere else. $o Bust 7ecause you canCt sell a certain pro!uct in your country !oesnCt mean that you canCt sell it somewhere else. An! that is the 7eauty o, eBay2 i, something is not popular in America you can try (rance or Englan! or #ermany or $pain etc. $omething that can 7e acAuire! easily in your country can 7e next to impossi7le to ,in! in another country. An example o, this is :ral Motorcycles. :ral motorcycles are tough an! relia7le 4ussian ma!e army motorcycles. These motorcycles have a cult ,ollowing in #ermany an! throughout Europe. The pro7lem is that parts are sometimes har! to come 7y an! can 7e way too expensive to 7uy ,rom a parts store. n 4ussia however2 these same motorcycle parts are extremely cheap an! easy to come 7y. $o i, you live in 4ussia you can ma5e a ,ortune selling :ral motorcycle parts through eBay to motorcycle enthusiasts all over Europe.
