Thread: Geoblocking for eBid stores?

  1. #1

    Default Geoblocking for eBid stores?

    I had an idea there is (or at least was) an option to set your eBid store so it's only visible to people from certain countries... but I can't see any such option in Settings. (Or is there no such option?)

    My understanding is > > >

    I only offer my items in my country, USA, so only the USA people see my items on home page and on the USA marketplace. (You can look at my items if you switch the marketplace country or look at the forum profile and see my listings.)

    Now, I could take my lighter weight items with a certain size and set my items to sell to the UK.
    Then those items will show up in the USA and the UK marketplace.
    ( I believe that is how it works )

    It's sort of "geoblocking" pending on the countries you want to sell to. ? ?

    I only ship to New Zealand so I don't really want or need people outside NZ seeing my listings. (Nothing personal, I just don't want to clash with the marketing done by the overseas distributors of my products.) However, I don't see an option to restrict viewing to NZ residents only.

    Hi der_solutions:

    You can select the countries you want to sell to when you start a listing. Just select the countries you are willing to ship or sell to. You can also decline shipping to countries other than your own.

    Yes, that is what I have done. But it does not stop people outside my own country actually viewing my items, as far as I can tell.

    It should; unless they view from your country/market place.

    It should. I tried to see your listings and the results said zero listings. So what you did is working.
