There’s a super easy way to add a memorable and personal touch to your international eBay orders–writing thank you their native language. In the age of Google and the internet figuring out how to write ‘thank you’ in nearly any language has become easier than ever. Adding a simple written ‘thank you’ to a buyer’s packing slip not only makes your buyer’s day, but also sets you and your store apart from other sellers on eBay.
Some languages (i.e. Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Greek, etc.) don’t use the Latin alphabet, but rather their own alphabet or characters. If you’re comfortable, try your hand at writing out non-Latin alphabet languages. Otherwise use a phonetic translation. Either way, your buyers will appreciate your effort to use their native language.
