I have an item which I want to list on the French Ebay (if there is such a thing).

I want to list using Turbolister as I want to included lots of photos.

Any idea how I do this please:confused:

    Open TurboLister and click on

    Tools/Options/Seller Options/eBay Sites - tick eBay France.

    Then "TurboLister will download information from eBay to support selected sites."

    Just remember though to make sure you show all correct postage in your auction. The sales will be in euros and France will obviously be domestic postage and other countries, including UK overseas. Taking euros in paypal will not be an issue at all but you may want to remove other payment methods as if you offer cheques etc the buyers will use euros as that will be the home currency.

    Thanks, I did manage to do it, but noticed that my home address and phone number appeared at the bottom of the listing. I can speak a little French, but couldn't find anywhere to remove it, so cancelled the listing

    Maybe this is a requirement if you are a business seller in France, hope it doesn't come into effect over here

    On ebay.uk it is also a requirement to have full contact details available although at the moment we are allowed (just I suspect) to have them on our 'about me' page as long as they are easily visible and in the same size font as they rest of the info.

    I have got my business address on Ebay UK, but the French site had pulled my home address and phone number :eek:

    as a short term fix, couldn't you alter your telephone number on your account page and change it to an incorrect number?

    I wasn't too worried about the phone number as it was my mobile, but I didn't want everyone to be able to see my home address
