Meeting the desire for good deals is no longer limited by geographical boundaries. Although cross-border trade dates back centuries, actually enabling people to shop across borders remains a complex challenge. Both buyers and sellers can face challenges including regional nuances, and language, shipping and payment disparities.
However, eBay has proven to be a leader in enabling global trade. With the rise of mobile technology and the rapidly changing global commerce market, cross-border trade has become an important business driver for small to mid-sized business owners.
eBay offers you Cross Border Trade ( “CBT”) opportunities which enable you to penetrate key global markets including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Germany.
Here are some of the most commons reasons why sellers “go global” on eBay
