Home / eBay forwarding

Buy from eBay US — anywhere in the world

Auctions, Best Offer, Authenticity Guarantee. Sellers who refuse to ship internationally. Used and vintage items the global market never sees. Selectido handles all of it.

The four eBay scenarios Selectido handles

1

Buy It Now

Seller will not ship to your country, or international shipping is $80+ for a small item. We give the seller a US Selectido address. You pay the US-domestic shipping rate. We forward via DHL.

2

Auctions

Set your maximum bid in USD. Our shopper monitors the auction and places bids up to your max. If you win, we receive, inspect, and ship. If you lose, you owe nothing.

3

Best Offer

Tell us your maximum offer. We send it in your name, relay counter-offers, and accept or pass on your direction. Saves an average of 15-22% on accepted offers.

4

Authenticity Guarantee

For high-value Apple, watches, sneakers, handbags, and graded cards, eBay routes the item through their US authenticator first. From there it ships to our address, then to you — fully verified.

5

Combined shipping

Multiple wins from a single seller can ship in one box. Wins from different sellers consolidate at our US warehouse. Saves 40-60% on international shipping versus shipping each item separately.

6

Returns and disputes

If an item arrives damaged or not as described, we handle the eBay Money Back Guarantee claim with the seller on your behalf. Returns ship back from our US address.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't eBay sellers ship to my country directly?
A few reasons. Customs paperwork is unfamiliar to most US individual sellers. International shipping is expensive and slow for them to book. Some categories — lithium batteries, alcohol, supplements, weapons — are restricted. And eBay's seller protection on international shipments is weaker than domestic, so sellers avoid it to protect their feedback. Selectido sidesteps all of this by providing a US address that looks identical to any other US delivery.
Can Selectido bid on auctions ending soon?
If your shopper is available, yes — book the session and we will place bids in real time up to your max. For auctions ending within 15 minutes, we recommend pre-booking 24 hours ahead so we can pre-stage the bid. We use a snipe approach (bid in the final seconds) when you authorize it.
What is eBay Authenticity Guarantee and how does it work with Selectido?
For Apple devices, watches over $1,500, sneakers over $150, handbags over $500, trading cards over $250, and select jewelry, eBay routes the item to a US authentication partner (CSC for sneakers, Entrupy for handbags, etc.) before shipping to the buyer. This adds 2-4 business days to delivery but provides authentication free of charge. The item ships to our Selectido address authenticated and tagged. From there we DHL to you.
What if the eBay item arrives broken or not as described?
We inspect every package on arrival before international shipping. If an item is damaged, counterfeit, or substantially not as described, we file an eBay Money Back Guarantee claim on your behalf and arrange return to the seller. You are refunded by eBay; we do not ship a damaged item internationally on your dime.
Can Selectido help with eBay's Global Shipping Program (GSP)?
GSP is eBay's own international shipping service. It adds 20-40% in import charges and is geographically restrictive. Selectido is almost always cheaper, faster, and more reliable. Use GSP only if the seller specifically requires it. For everything else, our service has lower total landed cost.
Do you handle returns from my country back to the eBay seller?
Yes. If the seller accepts returns and the issue qualifies, we coordinate the return shipment from our US address (much cheaper than shipping from your country back to the US). The seller refunds via eBay. Our forwarding fee for the original purchase is not refunded if the return is due to buyer's remorse, but is refunded if the item arrived damaged or counterfeit.
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, Mada (Saudi Arabia), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Stripe-supported cards from all our serving countries. We pay the eBay seller in USD via PayPal or eBay's standard checkout — you never touch the seller's payment.
Can I use my own eBay account or do I shop through yours?
Either works. Many customers buy on their own eBay account (with your Selectido address as the shipping address) and just hire us for the receive-inspect-forward part. Others have us handle auctions and Best Offer through our verified eBay account. We have done over 6,000 transactions, so seller trust on our account is high.
