What is eBay Guaranteed Delivery?

eBay Guaranteed Delivery will provide buyers with an improved delivery experience. 


Through the program, you can give buyers an exceptional delivery experience by guaranteeing delivery of an item within 4 days.

You can select the regions you wish to guarantee (for example Sydney-Melbourne, but not Sydney-Perth), and select the items you want to make eligible. This guarantee is based on your confidence that your carrier can deliver to specified regions within the eBay Guaranteed Delivery timeframes. The onus will be on you to be able to meet the specified timeframes and delivery speeds.


Why Should I offer it?

  • Increased Visibility
    Higher visibility through delivery speed filtered search results.
    eBay will drive additional marketing activities to promote eligible listings.

  • More Control
    Set your own estimated delivery date, for the regions you wish to guarantee.
    Select which items you want to make eligible for this optional program.

  • Happier Customers
    Happier customers as they’ll know you offer an exceptional delivery experience.
