Thai eBay

Recently I've noticed more and more UK-based items appearing on eBay which are priced in Thai New Dollars, which made me a bit curious... until I found this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=305&item=4036594849&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

in which the vendor explains that listing through eBay Taiwan is cheaper. This sounds promising, until you see that the Thai eBay site is in Traditional Chinese! I've tried the usual online translation sites, but these don't work because eBay uses cookies and is unable to pass them through a third party like Alta Vista. The layout of the selling pages isn't the same as the UK/US ones either, so like-for-like comparison is out too.

Any ideas, folks?

Have you tried asking the seller how it is done - you never know - he may impart some of his knowledge?

Jaz,,, just for your info

Thai = Thailand   not  Taiwan,  and they speak Thai not chinese. I dont think thailand have ebay yet and they also have a  traditional script!

Seems to be quite a common mistake.

That listing has been removed so something amiss that Ebay didn't like

Also BTW the currency of Thailand is Thai Baht, not Thai New Dollar.

I'm guessing you are getting confused with Taiwan, where the currency is Taiwan New Dollar.
