Korean Sellers Become the Main Force in Cross-Border, Outstanding Performance in the US Market

eBay eGS, as a one-stop logistics solution jointly operated by eBay and Korean logistics company Linkos, provides sellers with product inspection, customs clearance, and local delivery services from the Incheon logistics center in Korea to the target market.

The convenience and efficiency of this service have attracted a large number of Korean sellers to join the ranks of cross-border sales, especially with the most significant business growth targeting the US market.

Data shows thatin 2025, the volume of parcels sent to the US through eBay eGS "US Standard" service increased by 58% year-on-year. Notably, even though the US canceled the small-value import tax exemption policy in 2025, shipment volume from September to December still more than doubled.

This phenomenon is mainly due to the strengthening of the US dollar, the widespread adoption of the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) model by sellers, and the entry of more new sellers into the cross-border market.

In addition, parcel volumes in markets such as Canada, Australia, Europe, and the UK also increased by36%, 23%, 36%, and 38% respectively, indicating that the global layout of Korean sellers is accelerating.

Improved Logistics Convenience, Helping Sellers Operate Efficiently

In order to further optimize the logistics experience for sellers,eBay eGS continues to expand its service network, including cooperation with local Korean convenience stores (such as CU, Emart24), allowing sellers to easily drop off parcels at convenience stores near their living areas. This move greatly lowers the logistics threshold for sellers, especially small and medium-sized sellers, enabling them to enter the international market more conveniently.

In addition,eBay has also launched the automatic product synchronization tool "eBayMag", helping sellers to synchronize products with one click to seven local eBay sites including the UK and France. This function not only reduces the operational burden on sellers, but also increases product exposure, enabling Korean sellers to reach global consumers more efficiently.

Impact on Sellers and Coping Strategies

The rapid growth of eBay eGS brings new opportunities for sellers, but also comes with challenges.

First, as more and more Korean sellers enter the cross-border market, competition will become more intense. Sellers need to optimize supply chain management, ensure logistics timeliness and cost control, in order to maintain competitiveness.

Secondly, after the US canceled the small-value tax exemption policy, sellers need to pay more attention to tax compliance issues. Adopting theDDP model can reduce friction on the buyer side and improve the shopping experience.

For new sellers entering the market, the following strategies are recommended:

Precise Product Selection:Analyze consumption trends in the target market and select product categories with high demand and low competition.

Optimize Logistics Solutions:UtilizeeBay eGS's localized delivery services to improve delivery efficiency and reduce return rates.

Multi-site Layout:With the help ofthe "eBayMag" tool, expand into emerging markets such as Europe and Australia to diversify risks.

In addition, the improvement of automation tools and localized services will helpeBay occupy a more advantageous position in competition with other cross-border e-commerce platforms (such as Amazon and AliExpress).

In the future,if eBay can continue to deepen logistics cooperation, optimize seller support policies, and expand into emerging markets, its international business growth potential will be even more promising.
