Terms and Conditions of International Shipping by the Carrier

eBay works with third party carriers to provide shipping Services to deliver items to buyers located at a specific address (collectively, the "Services"). Your use of the Services is subject to these terms. eBay can revise these terms at any time by releasing updated terms on eBay.com, including completely canceling the Services. Relevant eBay User Agreement, User Privacy Notice and all eBay policies are incorporated in these terms by reference. You agree to abide by these terms when you are using the Services.

Buyers Need to Know

1. What is the Services content?

We provide international shipping services through third party carriers as we look to enable global buyers to purchase items listed on eBay.com. The Services make it possible for you (as a buyer) to buy applicable items on US stores that are not purchasable before due to a lack of shipping methods by sellers. When you purchase items and use corresponding shipping services of the carrier, the seller will send the item to HDB US Package Processing Center upon the receipt notification of the payment by the buyer. As a third party provider of international shipping services, HDB is responsible for the whole delivery process including customs clearance and international shipping. Using the Services will entail shipping service costs for using the service.

2. What items do the Services apply to?

The Services allow specific applicable inventory items to be delivered from the United States to buyers located in China. Buyers whose addresses are located in China will be eligible to see all inventory items that meet the following conditions:

  • Inventory items are listed on eBay.com
  • Inventory items are no more than 5 kilograms (11 pounds)
  • The shipping address of the buyer is located in China
  • The listing price of the item is no more than CNY 2,000

The Services do not apply to second-hand items, auction items, and Best Offer items.

The Services dictate that each transaction contains only one item. Buyers can use the Services to purchase multiple items, but international shipping services for each item must be purchased accordingly.

3. How to check whether inventory items meet the conditions or not?

For example, find the instruction in "Check Item Page" as below to start the process:



4. How do the Services charge?

Both domestic shipping within the United States and international shipping will be subject to corresponding charges.

  • The service costs of international shipping will be borne by the buyer. Please refer to the costs tablefor more details.

  • Domestic shipping within the United States may be subject to charges.

5. Customs

You don't need to worry about customs issues. The carrier will deal with all issues related to customs and international shipping. If any abnormal situation occurs, the carrier may contact you about the delivery of the item.

In accordance with the rule of routed export transaction in US Export Administration Regulations and Foreign Trade Regulations, you (both as a buyer and foreign principal party in interest) will agree to assume the responsibility of export delivery with HDB serving as the shipping agent. You are responsible for the accuracy of relevant information provided for items, and you agree to provide other information in time when required.

6. Returns

In some cases, the item you have received does not match the one you ordered or the item has been damaged in transit. This section illustrates the procedure that will be implemented under such circumstances and what you can do about it.

What to do if you change your mind and want to cancel the order?

  • If you cancel the order upon the agreement of the seller, you must contact the carrier to cancel the Services. You will receive the refund of the whole transaction once everything is settled properly.
  • f the seller refuses to cancel the order or does not respond to your order cancelation request, the order will be processed as normal and you need to pay relevant costs.


What to do if the item received is not the one you ordered or it is damaged?

  • You can file a claim on eBay in accordance with eBay Money Back Guarantee policy within 30 days. If HDB has already arranged the delivery and your item is in transit, you will no longer be covered by eBay Money Back Guarantee.
  • After a claim is filed, the seller will send you the shipping label and you need to provide the label to HDB as soon as possible. You must provide the label to the carrier within 5 (five) days, or the claim will expire and the transaction concludes.
  • If the item has not arrived at HDB US Processing Center by the estimated delivery date, you must contact the seller, instead of HDB, to confirm the item status or request a claim.
  • If the buyer receives a damaged item or the item is missing after it is sent to HDB, the buyer must contact HDB to confirm the item status or request a claim.
  • If the item received by the buyer does not match the description, the buyer can contact the seller for a solution. After the buyer and the seller agree on the return, they can contact HDB.


What to do if you have never received the item?
  • If your item has not been delivered to the carrier in time, the carrier can contact and inform you that it has not received your item. In this case, you can file a claim to the seller on eBay.
  • If an issue occurs during the time when your item is being delivered by the carrier to you, please contact the carrier directly for details.


What to do if you have not signed for purchased items?
  • In some cases, a delivery issue may occur due to wrong shipping address, incorrect delivery time and so on. If an attempt has been made to deliver the item but failed, HDB will arrange local delivery. If HDB is unable to deliver the package within thirty (30) days, the delivery will be canceled without further attempt. The buyer must contact HDB to confirm the delivery status of items. You are not eligible to receive any refund of shipping or item costs.

If the item has not been sold, the reimbursement amount shall not exceed the average sale price of the nearly identical item (identical in functions, features and item status) that has been sold 90 days before the adjudication of liability is made.
  • eBay or the carrier will not assume any liability for any missing or damaged items resulting from the following reasons:
    • Internal defects, wear, spoilage, degradation, and hidden or potential defects
