Sales information in Europe

Summary: millimetal44 is looking for advice on increasing sales in Europe, especially in Germany, through his online store. He has enabled delivery in Europe but isn’t making any sales. Anonymous User advises posting directly on ebay.de. francexpressdeal mentions the importance of complying with the German packaging law and points out that sales are down across the EU overall. felin12 suggests clearly stating shipping costs to boost sales and notes that some listings offer only "pickup in person".

Hello,

I’m reaching out because I’m looking for information about selling in Germany. I’m a professional and have had a shop selling items for a few years now.

I know that the items I sell related to metal raw materials are very much in demand in Germany, and I’ve enabled shipping to Germany, but the problem is that I’m not making any sales in Europe.

I’d like to know whether simply checking the Europe shipping option is enough, or whether there are other techniques to speed things up and boost sales in Europe, Germany, Spain, Italy, for example..

I logged into ebay.de and I can see that my listings are appearing, so I don’t understand why things aren’t taking off.

Could you tell me a bit more if you know the European selling sector on eBay.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Louka

Hello everyone

@millimetal44

For your listings, indicating the shipping costs for Europe would probably be a plus for selling.

P.S
On most of the latest listings posted, you only offer "In-person pickup" No shipping?

Hello @millimetal44

for your sales in Germany, have you done what was necessary with regard to German packaging law?

See this link:

That said, all sellers have been experiencing a drop in activity for several months now, including at the EU level. (regardless of their line of business)
