Adding GPSR Information to eBay Listings

To ensure your products comply with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) and avoid potential delisting, follow these step-by-step instructions for adding the required information to eBay.

Step 1: Prepare the Required GPSR Documentation

Ensure the following information and documents are ready for each product type:

1. Manufacturer Details: Company name, address, and contact information.
2. EU Authorised Representative Details: Name, address, and contact details (e.g., EAS).
3. Declaration of Conformity (DoC): A signed document verifying the product complies with EU safety standards, translated into the language of the sales market.
4. Safety Information: Relevant safety warnings, care instructions, or sizing information (if applicable), in the sales market language.
5. Technical File: Keep ready for EU Market Surveillance Authorities but not uploaded to eBay.

Step 2: Log Into Your eBay Seller Account

1. Go to eBay Seller Hub.
2. Select the relevant marketplace (e.g., eBay Germany, eBay France).

Step 3: Locate Product Listings

1. Navigate to Listings > Active Listings in the Seller Hub.
2. Find the product(s) you want to update.
3. Click Edit to make changes to the product details.

Step 4: Update Product Details

1. Add Manufacturer and Representative Information:

   • Navigate to the product description or compliance information section.
   • Add the Manufacturer's name, address, and contact details.
   • Include the EU Authorised Representative's details (e.g., EAS).

2. Upload Safety and Compliance Documents:

   • Use eBay’s document upload feature (available in certain categories) to attach the Declaration of Conformity.
   • Ensure the document is translated into the local language of the sales market.

3. Add Safety and Labelling Information:

   • If applicable, update the product description to include warnings, care instructions, and any other required information in the local language.

Step 5: Save and Update Listings

1. After adding the necessary details, click Save Changes to update the listing.
2. If managing multiple products, use eBay’s bulk edit tool to make changes across multiple listings efficiently.

Step 6: Monitor Listings for Compliance

1. Regularly check the status of your listings in the Seller Hub.
2. If any listings are flagged or require additional information, update them promptly to avoid delisting.

Important Notes:

• Languages: All uploaded safety documentation, including the Declaration of Conformity, must be available in the sales market language (e.g., German for Germany, French for France).
• eBay Policy Updates: Check eBay’s category-specific policies for additional compliance requirements, as they vary across product types.
• Deadlines: Ensure all GPSR compliance updates are completed before December 13, 2024, to avoid product delisting.
