Selling on eBay US, UK & Germany

Overview

RocketVault lists your cards on the eBay marketplace your account is registered in — using that marketplace's currency, categories, and shipping/return policies. If your eBay account is registered in the United States, nothing changes: you list on eBay US in US dollars exactly as before. If your account is registered in the United Kingdom, RocketVault lists on eBay UK in British pounds. If your account is registered in Germany, RocketVault lists on ebay.de in euros.

Supported regions today: United States (USD), United Kingdom (GBP), and Germany (EUR). More regions are added regularly — if your region isn't supported yet, RocketVault will tell you at connect time and record your interest so we can prioritise it.

How your region is detected

When you connect your eBay account (Settings → Marketplaces → Connect eBay), RocketVault reads which marketplace your eBay account is registered in and sets your selling region automatically. You don't have to configure anything.

If the detected region isn't one we support yet, you'll see a clear message rather than a silent fallback, and your account stays on the US marketplace until your region is available.

Changing your region manually

If you sell across regions, or the auto-detected region is wrong, you can override it in Settings → Marketplaces → Selling region. Only supported regions can be selected. Changing your region affects new listings, refreshes, and sync — it does not retroactively change listings already live on eBay.

Pricing in your currency

RocketVault Pricing is calculated in US dollars. When you sell in a non-USD marketplace, RocketVault converts each suggested price into your local currency using the daily exchange rate at the time you list, and labels these prices as estimated.

• A card with a suggested price of $40 lists on eBay UK at the GBP equivalent (around £31, depending on that day's rate) — never a flat "£40".
• The same card lists on ebay.de at the EUR equivalent. German item specifics use eBay's local taxonomy, so a Topps Bundesliga card is published under Sportart: Fußball, not as a generic English custom field.
• The exchange rate used is recorded with the listing for your records.
• If a live exchange rate is temporarily unavailable, RocketVault blocks the listing rather than publish it at the wrong price. Try again shortly.

You can always edit the price on any listing before or after publishing — your edited price is used exactly as entered, in your marketplace's currency.

Set fallback defaults directly in EUR or GBP

Market prices and your own fallback defaults are separate. Open Settings → Pricing → Base Prices and set Fallback price currency to USD, EUR, or GBP. Every fallback value on that page then uses the selected currency, including base, parallel, insert, and relic defaults.

If you set the currency to EUR and the base fallback to €1.00, RocketVault stores that exact native amount with the card. Publishing to ebay.de uses €1.00 unchanged; it does not convert the fallback again using a newer exchange rate. Portfolio totals can still be shown in U.S. dollars, but that display never replaces the listing amount you set.

Changing the fallback currency affects future fallback calculations and prices you edit afterward. It does not silently rewrite already processed cards.

Seeing prices in your currency across the app

Suggested prices now show in your currency wherever you review them — on each card, in the single and bulk publish previews, in the assistant's suggestions, and in your collection — converted at the day's rate and marked as an estimate (e.g. £31.20 est.). That way what you see matches what a card will list at. The exact list price is finalised in your currency the moment you publish.

Inline price editing uses your configured fallback currency. Market-sourced RocketVault Pricing remains an FX estimate until you replace it with an exact amount.

Every eBay money control follows the connected seller currency too: fixed and auction prices, Best Offer thresholds, shipping charges, shipping checks, draft editing, and automated-offer floors show EUR for ebay.de and GBP for eBay UK. A dollar label on these controls no longer changes or obscures the native amount being published.

Shipping on ebay.de

Your selected eBay fulfillment policy controls the shipping service and buyer cost. If you choose a policy such as TradingCards Versand, RocketVault uses it for the listing and hides the duplicate service and cost fields.

If you publish without selecting an existing fulfillment policy, the German shipping picker offers supported ebay.de services from Deutsche Post and DHL, including Deutsche Post Brief, Warensendung, Einschreiben, DHL Paket, and DHL Päckchen. Shipping costs are entered and displayed in EUR.

What stays the same

• The full upload → identify → price → list flow is identical.
• US sellers see no change at all.
• Your eBay business policies (shipping, payment, returns) and ship-from location are created per marketplace, so they're always valid for the region you're selling in.

Troubleshooting

"We don't support your region yet." Your eBay account is registered in a marketplace RocketVault hasn't launched. Your interest is recorded; you'll be notified when it's available. In the meantime you can still use every other RocketVault feature.

A UK or German listing was blocked with an exchange-rate message. The daily FX rate couldn't be fetched at that moment. This is temporary — retry in a few minutes. RocketVault blocks rather than mis-prices on purpose.

My prices look like estimates. Non-USD prices are FX-converted from RocketVault Pricing and labelled estimated. Edit any listing to set an exact price in your currency.

Prices showed in USD right after I opened the app. On the very first load RocketVault fetches the current exchange rate in the background, so guide prices may briefly appear in USD until it arrives (usually within a minute). They switch to your currency automatically — no need to refresh.

I saw a 0/day eBay listing limit. Every account can create up to 100 new or relisted eBay listings per local day. If RocketVault shows zero, refresh the app and contact support if it does not change. eBay's own selling allowance is checked separately.
