How to buy on eBay with delivery to Russia — save $20 per order!

 Choosing a product

Other than the most experienced shoppers, very few people use filters. And yet this is one of the most convenient aspects of shopping on eBay! There are a lot of products and categories here, both individuals and large companies sell here, and there are both regular sales and auctions. It's easy to get confused by all this if you don't use filters when selecting a product.

When searching for something, in the field on the left specify how you would like to buy it.

For example, in auction format (Auction), or like in a regular store (Buy It Now). Most people choose the second option, but the first can be very выгоден if you have a little more time. It is also useful to set the desired price, and what kind of product you are looking for – new (New) or cheaper, already used (Used). Just a few clicks – and there are already far fewer options!

When you find something that interests you, go to the page and carefully read the product description. Over the years of shipping from eBay to Russia, we've had situations where the package for an item (bought at an unexpectedly low price!) contained only its box. Or a case. Or just the seat of a chair. And then it is difficult to prove anything to the seller if it was written at the bottom of the product page that he was selling only that part. It is not always possible to get your money back from eBay in such a case.

Check the seller's rating, how long they have been registered, and the number of reviews. For example, the seller from our screenshot has a whole 1300+ positive reviews, and was registered not last month, but in 2007. This is a reliable seller! Buy with confidence.

On the product page, by clicking the See Details button next to the Shipping field, you can see how much regular shipping to your country would cost. Often there is simply no shipping to Russia, sometimes there is, but it costs $35+. At the same time, shipping within America is either $3.50 or completely free. In addition, the standard delivery time from eBay to Russia from the USA can be several months, since packages are sent by the most standard services (such as USPS International Priority).

Having made sure that such a shipping cost does not suit us, that the product meets our criteria, and that the seller is reliable enough, we add the product to the cart and move on to the next stage.

 Enter the Ebay address

The usual cost of eBay delivery from America starts at $35, which is actually quite significant. To save a lot, shipping from the USA is three times cheaper, plus to receive your package not in a month, but in just a few days, we will forward the package not directly to Russia, but first to the Prostobox address. Our company professionally handles forwarding goods, this is our business, we do everything economically and quickly.

All you need is to enter our US address on the Ebay website. You can see this address in your personal account on our website after registration. Everything there is the same for everyone, except for the STE number. When the packages arrive at the address, they will appear there as well, in your account. From there you can also top up your balance to pay for delivery services.

So, to buy profitably on eBay with delivery to Russia, when checking out in the cart, enter our address from your personal account. The phone number is also ours. Enter your own first and last name, preferably in Latin letters. That's it! Now the delivery will go through the USA, and that is both faster and much more выгоднее.

Making payment

Before shipping goods from eBay, you still need to pay for your purchase! To do this, choose the payment method that suits you. We recommend PayPal – just in case, it will be safer this way, after all, the payment system itself belongs to eBay, and it has the most reliable buyer protection here.

If it is more convenient for you to pay by bank card, that is not a problem either! Fortunately, eBay likes Russia and calmly accepts cards from our banks (unlike some other American online stores).

Just click the button to change the Billing information ("Edit your Billing address"). By default, it contains the same data as in the Shipping fields, that is, the data of our warehouse. But your bank card is registered to you, so there is a mismatch, and the payment may not go through. So just enter your own details – the ones your bank card is registered to (preferably in Latin letters). This way you will prove to the store that you are not a carder, but are using your own money.

And do not forget about such excellent and profitable resources as Ebates and Mr. Rebates. These are cashback services that sometimes let you save up to 5-10% on a purchase. You just need to register there and go to the product page from their website.

Go to Prostobox

Have you chosen a product? Have you entered the address and made the payment? Great! All that remains is to let Prostobox know about it. That’s the whole special feature of our service — if we know in advance where the item is coming from and can link it to your account, then the whole processing goes faster, and the package can be automatically sent to your address, even without the need for additional confirmation from you.

And so, to make shipping from eBay to Russia as fast and cost-effective as possible, you look at the tracking number of the package that was sent to you. It is visible both on the eBay website and in your email. Copy this tracking number — and add it in your personal account. Follow the instructions that appear to choose the shipping option for this package to Russia (enter your details, your address, top up your Prostbox balance). That’s it! Now, when the package arrives, it will be linked to you and will immediately be sent to the address.

Receiving the package

Depending on which method you chose, the package will be delivered either to a post office branch or to one of the pickup points. Don't forget to bring a document confirming that the package is in your name. You can also choose delivery from eBay to a parcel locker that you selected on the map. This is also a fairly convenient and simple option.

Congratulations! You managed to find a way to order from eBay to Russia, saving at least $20+ on each package and now receiving it several weeks earlier.

As you can see, shopping on eBay can be a very simple and inexpensive pleasure if you know the special services that can help. Affordable and convenient delivery from eBay exists, you just need to know where to find it and how to use it!
