Selling China Sourced Products Internationally by Choosing Proper Location Options

Sourcing products from China and selling them across the globe is not easy. The seller must be disciplined and follow certain basic steps to start selling on reputed online international platforms. However, to see profit at the end of the year, he/she must employ certain advanced selling techniques. While selling products globally, you will realize that there is a difference in selling products which varies from country to country. The way products are listed and searched for a particular country is different from the way people search for products in another country. That is why it is important to count in these differences while you are listing your products.

Choosing to sell an item globally increases the number of potential buyers for your products. With a huge reach, you will be able to hike the price of your products as well as sell more items. There is a way to list items for global buyers; it is easy. Most reputed online selling platforms like eBay offer a form to be filled out by every seller to list their items. A seller needs to fill that out and while filling the form, you have to skip the section on “Ship-to-Locations”. You can fill it later by choosing the right option on “Will ship worldwide” to reach the greatest number of buyers. You can also choose the country you are selling from and then add multiple countries for selected selling regions. In this way, you can customize the countries to which you will ship your products. However, do not forget to read the section on import/export restrictions before choosing the shipping locations.

Connecting with Buyers

Connecting with buyers from around the world is time consuming because you have to reply to emails at odd hours, even at the middle of the night due to the time differences. However, you have to communicate clearly with them so that they do not misunderstand the USP of your products and also you cannot give them any scope to complain regarding your product. Sometimes, they even ask questions on your currency and you are expected to clarify their queries and this demands overcoming the language barriers.

International buyers always convert the price in their currencies to count and rate it. There are generally 2 features facilitating this process. In the first process both the types of currencies are displayed on the Item Page which makes it easy for the buyer to understand the price. The second process involves converting search and listing prices to their local currency from where they are searching for the products. They can click on “Show all prices in local currency” option to know the price for their chosen item. The last option is provided by e-Bay for international sellers and buyers.

Language Translation
