GPSR

GPSR

GPSR stands for General Product Safety Regulation, the EU rules that require sellers to provide certain safety and accountability information for products sold into the European market. The GPSR area lets you manage that compliance directly in the app by adding and updating the required product information, documents, and responsible-person details in one place. You reach it with the GPSR button on the Templates page. 


The data you set up here is what gets attached to your listings so they meet GPSR requirements, which matters whenever you sell into the EU. The area is organized into four tabs, each holding a different part of the compliance picture: Manufacturer Details, Upload Documents, Responsible Person, and Product Safety. You switch between tabs to view what you've added, and each tab has a search box to find entries by name as your records grow. 

Adding GPSR data

You add records using the Add GPSR Data button at the top right. It's a dropdown, so you choose which kind of record to create (Manufacturer Details, Upload Documents, Responsible Person, or Product Safety), and the matching form opens. Each form is covered below. Across all of them, required fields are marked, and you select Upload to save the record or Cancel to discard it. 


Manufacturer Details 

The Manufacturer Details tab holds the manufacturer information for your products, shown in a list with the manufacturer name, email, company name, phone, and address. The form captures:
  1. Manufacturer Name, Email ID, and Company Name, all required.
  2. Phone, entered without the country code prefix.
  3. The address, made up of Street Line 1 (required), Street Line 2, City (required), Postal Code (required), State or Province, and Country (required).
This identifies who makes the product, which GPSR requires buyers to be able to see. 


Upload Documents 

The Upload Documents tab is where you add the compliance documents tied to your products. The form captures:
  1. Select Account to choose which connected eBay account the document is for.
  2. Document Name, required, to label the document.
  3. Document Type, required, to classify what the document is.
  4. Document Language, required, where you can select one or more languages for the document.
After these are set, the Get Code action becomes available, which is part of preparing the document for use before you upload it. This tab is how you attach the supporting paperwork that backs up your product's compliance. 


Responsible Person 

The Responsible Person tab holds the details of the person or entity accountable for the product in the EU market, which GPSR requires for products sold there. The list shows the name, email, company, phone, type, and address. The form captures:
  1. Name, Company Name, and Email ID, with Name, Company Name, and Email required.
  2. Phone, entered without the country code prefix.
  3. The address fields: Street Line 1 (required), Street Line 2, City (required), Postal Code (required), State or Province, and Country (required).
  4. Type, required, where you set the kind of responsible person, for example, EU Responsible Person. 

This records who carries responsibility for the product's compliance within the EU.

Product Safety 

The Product Safety tab is where you record the safety information shown to buyers. The form captures:
  1. Component Name, required, to identify the component the safety information applies to.
  2. Safety Statements, required, where you select the relevant warnings or safety notices, up to a maximum of eight.
  3. Pictograms, required, where you select the standard safety symbols that apply, up to a maximum of four.

These are the safety warnings and symbols GPSR expects to accompany applicable products.
