Home : Help : Buyer Guide : International Search

eBay has created two new ways to search for items on eBay:

• Search for items located in a particular country.
• Search for items that are available to you in a particular country.

If Jonathan wants to search for "Shakespeare" items that are located in England, he should check the "located" option in the "Country where item is" box and select "United Kingdom" from the list of countries.

Only items which met his search criteria and were located in the UK would appear in his search results.
Note: sellers indicate an item's physical location when they list an item.

Example: Search for items that are available to you

If Bob is from the U.S. and wants to search for "Michael Jordan" items available to him, he can check the "available" option in the "Country where item is" box and select "United States" from the list of countries.

The search results would only show items which met his search criteria and either of the following was true:

• the item was located in the U.S. or;
• the seller was willing to ship internationally

Note: sellers determine an item's availability in an item's terms and conditions. If the "Will Ship Internationally" box is checked, buyers from around the world will see your item when they search for items that are available to them.
