Is eBay Bringing Fulfillment By Orange Connex To The US?
eBay previously launched eBay Fulfillment by Orange Connex in Germany in 2020, UK in 2021 and Australia earlier this year and, according to a recent presentation at eBay's Connect 2022 developer conference, it will be expanding to the US market as well.
Giovanni Fiorilli, Director of Product Management, Shipping touched on the topic in his segment on Shipping - the slide in the presentation said it would be launched in the US in September, but in the video he simply said "coming soon."

I'm not seeing anything about eBay Fulfillment in the US Seller Center yet, so it would appear they may have missed the September planned launch - I've reached out to eBay for comment and will update as soon as I have more information regarding the US launch of this program.
