How to buy from eBay in Georgia: step by step

Buying from eBay in Georgia no longer means opening a card with a foreign bank or asking a friend abroad to pay for you. On EBG the whole thing comes down to five steps, and every price is in GEL from the start.

1. Register and top up

Signing up takes a minute — an e-mail address and a phone number. You then top up your balance by card or at a terminal, and the order is paid from that balance.

2. Find the product

Search for the model the way its maker writes it: “iPhone 15 Pro 256GB” returns far better results than “new iphone”. The catalogue shows you straight away:

• the price in GEL, shipping to our warehouse included;
• the condition — new, used or refurbished;
• the seller's eBay rating.

3. Confirm the order

Once it is in the cart you choose where to collect it: one of 40+ Flybox branches, or a courier to your address.

The order only reaches an operator after the money leaves your balance. Nothing is bought on eBay before the payment clears.

4. Shipping

The seller posts the item to our US warehouse, and it flies to Tbilisi from there. Ten to eighteen days is typical, and every step shows up under “My parcels”.

5. Collection

When the parcel reaches the branch you get an SMS and an e-mail with the invoice link. Bring an ID — that is all.
