eBay now supports UnionPay RMB payment, and you can use credit cards, which is similar to Taobao, so there is no need to worry too much;

eBay is a market model, and there is no such thing as self-operated. At this time, you need to look at the seller's information in detail. You definitely don't want the things you bought with great effort to be transferred back to China. Since many products on eBay are sold by Chinese sellers, even if it is shown as shipped from the United States, you should pay attention. It may also be a domestic product. Now some Chinese sellers use overseas warehouses to sell products (send the goods from China to the warehouse in the United States in advance, and then put them on the shelves for sale).

If you are sure that the seller is a seller in the United States, Europe, or Australia, choose the delivery address to see if it can be shipped directly to China. If it can, place an order directly and wait for the seller to ship. When it arrives at the Chinese customs, the carrier will call or send a text message to remind you to pay tariffs, etc. After clearing the customs, it will be transported normally in China until you sign for it. If there is any problem, you can directly contact the seller for return and exchange. This method generally uses postal parcel channels or international express delivery. The former is suitable for low-value goods, while the latter has higher freight and import tariffs. In more cases, you need to consult the seller.

If you have a transshipment warehouse in the United States or Europe (it is recommended to use postal channels, such as China Post Overseas Purchase Warehouse; the probability of tariffs being levied on commercial channels is much higher), you can just write the address provided by the transshipment warehouse as the address for placing an order. The transshipment warehouse will contact you for subsequent import customs clearance issues.
