Does Ebay France have to except paypal? I'm looking at something listed there and thinking of asking the seller if they will ship to the UK. If i can put together a French sentence. If they don't do paypal not sure what else could i send a personal cheque would a French bank except it?

I've sold lots of stuff there just never bought

    Est-ce que vouz envoyez en Angleterre?

    (Do you send to England)

    I'm not sure paypal is compulsory on the french site, as it says:

    Il existe plusieurs modes de paiement possibles sur eBay, dont certains sont plus sûrs que d'autres. Nous vous recommandons PayPal, simple, s!curis! et sans frais pour l'acheteur.

    (There are many possible ways of paying on ebay, of which some are more secure than others. We recommend PayPal, simple, secure and free for the buyer.)
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Doesn't sound like its compulsory then. I really need to brush up on my French just been looking around ebay France and in some categories even with international postage there's some bargains to be had.

    Thanks very much

    Bargains..bargains...I'm logging in now!

    My German market virtually disappeared overnight (they are big on sci fi) so I am looking for new places to buy stock.

    Some things are really good prices. Then every now and then you think how much!! It all depends what you are looking at but i'm seriously considering dipping my toe in on some purchases and seeing if I can shift them over here.

    When the German market was strong (and before every one else found how easy it was to buy there) I could make 100% profits by buying cult items and reselling on ebay.uk. Everyone has found it now.

    You're probably doing this already, but if one views an item on https://www.ebay.fr
    you can put the item's numbers in seach in UK ebay and add it to your watched list and bid from there.
