We've rolled out a new help page, which will be your go-to guide for understanding regulations when selling on eBay.
Regulations which may impact sellers who sell internationally
Stay compliant with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations
If you sell to buyers in Europe, it’s important to familiarise yourself with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations. These regulations are aimed at protecting the environment, improving waste management and fostering recycling innovation. To help you stay on top of EPR, we have introduced some important updates.
To ensure compliance, please add your Unique Identification Number (UIN) to your Account Settings page, under Business Information. This will apply the UIN to all your EPR qualifying listings. For more information, please refer to our Help page on EPR for business sellers listing on eBay.fr.
To ensure compliance, please add your WEEE number to your Account Settings under Business Information. For additional details and examples of affected products, please visit our EPR for Sellers Help page.
If you sell items that contain hazardous materials, it is mandatory to include the hazardous characteristics in your listing. When creating or revising a listing for any hazardous item, please add the relevant information to the new item disclosures module (available from July). This module will automatically appear when you list items in affected categories.
