Changes to International lsitings affecting sales

LULUBELLE_2

Since eBay changed the visibility of items on eBay.com, my sales have been drastically affected; I sold a lot of items to the U.S. and Canada, sales to both have disappeared into oblivion, despite an ability by the buyer to 'Search Worldwide' - I don't believe that eBay.com have publicised this facility properly in the U.S.:mad:

Strangely, even using the 'Worldwide' search, my items show in the U.S. (if anyone could be bothered to use the facility!!) don't show up in Canada, but do show on eBay.com.au

I am SO ticked off about it - I know there's nothing I can do, I just needed to vent! :sad:

Ah ha, I know where you are coming from. About 1/3 of my sales are international but have had hardly any the last few weeks. Mind you have had hardly any sales at all the last few weeks!!

they are still testing different ways of displaying international items worldwide...

The first of these tests, which will begin at the end of this week, will display items listed by US sellers on eBay.com by default in a few selected categories on eBay.co.uk. We have selected categories where imports from the US to the UK already represent a significant proportion of trade in the category. US listings will be displayed by default on eBay.co.uk in these categories if a seller offers PayPal, has at least 100 feedback with at least 98% positive

The problem is that their 'testing' always gives the advantge to the US sellers - they're not even subtle about it :rolleyes:
