Which eBay site is better?

Among the more than 50 competitive markets in the world, European and American countries have always been the main bases where eBay first achieved success and developed increasingly prosperously. The US site is not only the "mother country" of eBay, but also the site with the longest history and the most mature market cultivation. Because the buyers in the local market are very active and the sellers have advanced operational awareness, the eBay US site often shows both crises and opportunities.

Looking at the eBay US site market, industrial electronics and light industrial clothing products are both hot categories in North America, so global eBay sellers affectionately call the US market the "newbie village" market. For Chinese sellers with a mature industrial supply chain, the best way to enter the US market for the first time is to set up a local account. Due to the cultural atmosphere of protecting their own industry, local residents are more inclined to buy cross-border e-commerce products from domestic sellers and domestic companies.

The UK site is also a springboard market for small-scale sellers. The biggest reason is that consumers in the UK have mature online shopping habits and business networks. In the UK, almost all three generations have quite "stubborn" online shopping habits. The business advantage of eBay sellers in East Asia in the UK is the price difference and quality difference. In particular, the prices of local clothing and sports products in the UK are basically relatively expensive, and they can earn quite lucrative profits by taking advantage of the difference in the exchange rate between China and the UK.

Huge cross-border e-commerce development opportunities are often accompanied by greater difficulties. Because the UK has a relatively strict tax payment system, all products that pass through the UK must declare and pay value-added tax in accordance with regulations. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for e-commerce sellers with meager profits. After all, the dual pressure of VAT tax + ocean postage will make it difficult for many small-scale sellers to bear.

In general, eBay's European and American countries are the main bases where eBay first achieved results and developed better and better. The US site is mature, and the UK site is suitable as a springboard market for small-scale sellers.
