GPSR compliance on eBay
eBay requires GPSR information (manufacturer, EU Responsible Person, warnings) on listings offered to EU buyers. This guide covers where those fields live and what to prepare.
What every EU-facing listing must display
GPSR Art. 19 requires this information to be visible before purchase — on the listing itself, not just inside the parcel:
- Manufacturer name, postal address and electronic address
- If the manufacturer is outside the EU: name and contact details of the EU Responsible Person
- Product identification: a photo, the product type, and a batch or model reference
- Any warnings and safety information, in the language(s) of each EU country you target
Step by step on eBay
1.Fill the GPSR fields on each listing
The listing form has dedicated fields for manufacturer and EU Responsible Person (name, address, email). For bulk updates, eBaymag has a GPSR template that applies the details across listings.
Official help article2.Add safety information and pictograms
Paste the warning texts from the Safety Information Sheet into the product safety information fields (or the description), in the languages of the EU countries you ship to.
The documents to prepare
The fields above are the easy part — what takes time is preparing what goes in them. The GPSR Kit generates all four documents for your specific product in one pass:
- Safety Information Sheet — the warning texts to paste, in every language of the countries you sell to
- Simplified Risk Assessment — pre-filled for your category, to review, adapt and sign for your technical file
- Marketplace Checklist — the field-by-field steps for your channels
- Label Template — the mandatory mentions plus a copy-paste block for your listing descriptions

FAQ
What happens if my eBay listings are not GPSR-compliant?
Non-compliant listings can be removed for EU buyers, and market surveillance authorities can require corrective action from the Responsible Person.
Do I need an EU Responsible Person?
If your products' manufacturer is based outside the EU — which includes you, if you make the products yourself outside the EU — then yes, a person or company established in the EU must be named on your listings. The kit's checklist includes guidance and real market prices for appointing one.
What documents should I have ready before filling the fields?
A multilingual safety information sheet (the warning texts you will paste), a risk assessment kept in your technical file, and a label with the required mentions. That is exactly what the GPSR Kit generates for your specific product.
