    What you do sounds interesting, I may look into it at some point in the future.

    I found this.
    A bit of cross-linking here, but useful feedback from someone who has tried it.

    Fantastic!
    Do you mind me asking what type of products you are using to test (just wondering if it would work for me as well, or maybe not)
    Are they truly saleable internationally, no probs of standards, plugs, sizes etc?

    Hi yes the products I sell can be sold round the world without problem. The way I looked at it was if with my normal UK ebay account I sell things to the Eu and America then it can be sold on this site.

  • Well it looks like I have not broke even on this experiment.
    Shame it looks like a good idea, perhaps if I was more specialised in my stock it would work better.
    Lets see what happens now.

    ..hope it's not what happened to other sellers who complain on the ebay forum, they got pestered by the company, with several phone calls etc to persuade them to sign up....
  • not had any pestering as yet. All the figures are in now and the ROI did not work, plus if I pay them the monthly fee I would be well out of pocket.

  • A great idea but company performance has been poor.

    I signed up and have now cancelled my account.

    The promised translation only applies to the listing title and not to the body of text!
    Listing fees on ebay .de (Germany) are very high and little warning is given by Webinterpret. I found that while I was on the testing phase they were my best friends and were really attentive. Once I signed up for the full programme things changed.

    Queries took a long time to be answered - when answered they usually took no responsibility. The replies were often vague and in poor english.

    We did have some extra sales but overall lost money on the experiment.

    Their "don't care" attitude has amazed me and I could not recommend their services.
