Ebay gone strange

Just sent an invoice to buyer with a copy to my email address.
Looked at my email and the invoice is all in German!
Went back to ebay account to make sure I was logged in properly and I am in UK account.
What is happening?

    It looks like its your turn for the 'foreign' glitch, this has been happening a lot and destroys sales.

    Basically the system fails to recognise you as being in the UK and hides your listings unless people search for International - it then decides you are actually overseas when you try to do anything. For just over a day last week I was apparently not in the UK and none of my listings showed up unless a seller happened to search using ebay France.

    It will just snap back to the UK at some point, mine took a little over 24 hours.

    That explains why it is very quiet. I was expecting a lot of watchers on some of my items but it is nil watchers and nil visits to my items.

    If you don’t like a thread or post just move on by.
