Consumers in the U.S. will soon be able to track USPS packages purchased from eBay sellers in China. The U.S. Postal Service entered into an international tri-lateral agreement on Friday with eBay Greater China & Southeast Asia (eBay GC) and China Post Express & Logistics Corporation. The agreement creates a new, simplified shipping platform for international tracking and delivery of lightweight goods ordered by consumers in the U.S. from eBay sellers in China.
Chinese sellers using eBay GC can track their shipments with electronic notifications such as in-process and proof-of-delivery scans at ebay.cn. Upon arrival in the U.S., these shipments will be processed as domestic First-Class Mail, with a one to three-day delivery standard.
According to the announcement, "Sellers in China using the shipping platform through eBay GC are expected to ship small items such as cellular telephone accessories and electronics weighing up to 4.4 pounds (2 kilos), with most in the range of 13 ounces and under."
