Listing in a different currency

Hi there, I've been selling privately on eBay since 2006, I used to be able to list items in pounds sterling up until last year. I moved to the UK and when I moved back to Ireland I was no longer able to list in pounds. I have seen Irish sellers listing in pounds and I am not sure how to go about this - do I have to change my address? It turns off a lot of buyers when my items are in euros - even though I keep my postage to a reasonable cost (I feel that they are 'reading' it in terms of pounds rather than euros, on first sight - £4.50 postage sounds expensive, when its actually €4.50 which is around £3)

I'm not attempting to deceive buyers - I state the item is being posted from Ireland, but the UK is the destination for 95% of the items I sell.

TIA!

  • Ah well, I've managed to do it, by deleting all my unsold listings - not working from templates, and listing via ebay.co.uk only. Mods feel free to close this thread, thank you.
