To send any product internationally from eBay U.S., you must have a physical address in the U.S. This address will be used to receive products from eBay. But you are probably asking how you may have a physical address in the United States if you don’t live there or have family who lives in there. 

There are several firms situated in the United States that provide consumers with US addresses and will also assist with overseas delivery. These businesses are known as freight forwarders. If you register an account with them, they will provide you with a US-based address to which you may ship any and all items ordered from US-based businesses and services. 

The product is accepted on your behalf by the freight forwarder. When the shipment arrives, the freight forwarder will ship it directly to you in Vietnam. If you have many packages, they can combine your packages into a single order. This way, you will receive all of your products at once rather than one per time. The advantage of this service is that you may place your purchase from anywhere in the U.S. and have it transported to Vietnam.
