Can someone explain Ebay international selling please?

Been a while since I did much on Ebay and am just listing an item. Last time I sold something similar a lady in Spain bought it, so I want to be able to offer international shipping.

I initially tried selecting my own international shipping rate, selected worldwide and entered a postage amount. However when I looked at the live listing it was showing as worldwide postage but only showing the UK postage rate.

So then I tried selecting the Global Shipping Programme and it's not showing international delivery at all now, only UK.

What am I missing?!

Beware the customs procedures now we've had Brexit.
Sorry can't help much. Have you tried Ebay discussion boards?

Never even thought about Brexit, would the GSP programme take care of that as you only post it to the UK address? Maybe I'll just leave it as UK only!

The Global Shipping Programme is brilliant - you just post it to a UK depot, and once it reaches there safely, it's out of your hands, eBay do it all from then on, including customs etc, and it the parcel is damaged after that point they'll refund the buyer, with so effect on the seller. The buyer pays a separate fee to eBay for the international part of the shipping process.

So long as you've ticked the GSP box, you should be set to go - but make sure you've deleted anything you've entered regarding international shipping, you just need your domestic shipping on there.

So when you look at the live listing if you've selected GSP does it just show the UK postage? How do buyers in other countries know that tehy need to pay extra postage?
