How to Make Your Printful Dropshipping Products GPSR Compliant (and Use Euverify to Stay Ahead)
Navigating the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) might seem challenging, especially if you sell products across multiple platforms, including dropshipping through Printful alongside your own manufactured items. This guide clearly explains how to meet compliance requirements, manage EU obligations efficiently, and continue selling seamlessly on your website, Amazon, Etsy, eBay, and more.
What is the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)?
Effective from December 13, 2024, the GPSR establishes stringent rules to ensure all non-food consumer products sold in the EU are safe. The regulation requires clear product information, accurate manufacturer details, essential safety warnings, and comprehensive compliance documentation. Additionally, businesses must conduct regular risk assessments, maintain detailed product traceability, and proactively monitor post-market product safety.
Does GPSR Apply to You?
If you sell products to EU customers—whether through Printful dropshipping or your own manufacturing—compliance with GPSR is mandatory. Sellers based outside the EU must also appoint an EU Authorised Representative who can communicate directly with authorities regarding product safety.
Platforms like Etsy, Amazon, and eBay have additional compliance requirements under GPSR, meaning sellers must provide specific product safety documentation to avoid disruptions.
Selling Dropshipped Products via Printful
Compliance becomes significantly simpler when dropshipping with Printful. Printful acts as your EU Authorised Representative for all products they fulfill, offering ready-to-use compliance and safety details that can easily be included in your listings.
For Amazon sellers, simply select ‘Yes’ for GPSR Safety Attestation, as Printful products generally require no additional safety warnings. Printful handles all risk assessments, traceability documentation, and post-market safety monitoring, streamlining compliance.
Selling Your Own Products Alongside Printful
Selling self-manufactured products in addition to dropshipped items means you have distinct compliance responsibilities. You must designate your own EU Authorised Representative, which is straightforward with Euverify.
Euverify Simplifies GPSR Compliance for Your Own Products by:
- Acting as your EU Authorised Representative.
- Providing a dedicated EU address and contact details.
- Managing required compliance documentation and Declarations of Conformity seamlessly.
- Assisting with post-market surveillance and risk assessments.
Example of EU Authorised Representative Address:
For your manufactured products, clearly display this address in your product listings:
Euverify Ltd.
Unit 3D North Point House, North Point Business Park,
New Mallow Road, Cork, T23 AT2P, Ireland
Email: info@euverify.com`

Using Multiple Authorised Representatives in Euverify
Euverify is designed for sellers managing multiple product sources:
- Easily assign different Authorised Representatives for Printful dropshipped products and your self-manufactured products.
- Clearly manage compliance details in your Euverify dashboard.
- Prevent marketplace confusion and maintain transparency.
Marketplace Compliance: Amazon, Etsy, eBay, and Beyond
- Amazon and eBay: Both platforms provide specific fields for entering compliance details from Printful and Euverify.
- Etsy: Requires sellers to designate an EU-based economic operator. Use Printful’s provided details for dropshipped products and Euverify’s details for your own products. Additionally, ensure product safety information is accurately included in your listings.
Failing to meet marketplace-specific requirements could lead to blocked listings or sales interruptions.
Warranty and After-Sale Obligations
Under EU law (Directive 2019/771), sellers must provide a two-year warranty covering refunds or replacements for faulty products. Printful minimizes warranty issues by ensuring high product safety and quality standards pre-shipment.
Businesses must also implement effective processes for managing product recalls and informing customers promptly about potential safety issues under GPSR.
How to Ensure Your Store is GPSR Compliant:
- Update Your Product Listings: Include compliance details from Printful and Euverify.
- Designate Euverify as your EU Authorised Representative for self-manufactured products.
- Monitor Compliance Updates regularly through Euverify to stay current.
- Implement Post-Market Monitoring and ongoing risk assessments.
Detailed Compliance Information for Marketplaces:
Amazon Sellers:
- Use Printful’s GPSR product list to populate the required fields.
- Select “Yes” for GPSR Safety Attestation as Printful products don’t have additional warnings.
eBay Sellers:
- Follow eBay’s compliance fields using Printful’s provided details.
Etsy Sellers:
- Update individual listings with compliance information.
- Add an EU-based economic operator such as:
SINDEN VENTURES LIMITED
Markou Evgenikou 11, Mesa Geitonia 4002 Limassol, Cyprus

Non-compliance could result in marketplace penalties, including listing removals.
GPSR Product Lists from Printful:
Use Printful’s comprehensive product lists to find and update each of your products’ compliance details easily. Simply copy and paste this information into your listings.
GPSR Safety Attestation on Amazon:
Amazon’s GPSR Safety Attestation identifies products that can be safely used without warnings. As Printful products don’t require warnings, always select “Yes.”
Two-Year Warranty Requirements:
EU Directive 2019/771 requires sellers to provide a two-year warranty covering refunds or replacements for faulty or misrepresented products. Ensure your after-sales processes comply.
Product Safety Labels and Information:
Safety labels and product descriptions must adhere to regional laws. Printful ensures compliance with these laws; however, updating listings promptly helps avoid disruptions and maintains consumer trust.
Act Now for Seamless Selling:
Take proactive steps:
- Incorporate Printful’s provided details and Euverify’s representation into listings.
- Regularly review and update compliance through Euverify’s dashboard.
- Implement robust post-market monitoring practices.
Combining Printful’s streamlined compliance processes with Euverify’s comprehensive solutions ensures your store stays compliant, operational, and trusted across all sales channels.
