Nationality

[Aguero]

Hi guys,

Does it matter what nationality you choose when creating eBay/PayPal stealth ?

For example, whether the German nationality would give more scoring points than the Bulgarian one, when creating an account in .de ?

Are they interested in this or bots do not make a difference ?

Thanks in advance

Interesting. Would be keen to know too.

Nobody knows except software engineers who work for Ebay, but I believe listings of German sellers on Ebay.de will always be given priority over Bulgarian or Chinese sellers for example. However, I noticed that on Ebay.com that is not the case at all because you see all these Swedish, Canadians and Chinese sellers taking over everyone.

I rarely see "international sellers" at the top of search listing ranks.

I would presume the best chances of exposure would be to be registered in the country you will be listing on, simply because eBay wants customers to get their item quickly, and international sellers couldn't offer that.

That's just from my experience though.

More intresting is whether some nationalities enjoy greater trust than others? So far I have not heard of a blacklisted countries in eBay.

I was watching German seller /5 years old acc/ for more than a year selling alot of items. After that all listings was pulled out. DSR was bad about shipping time mostly and few negative feedbacks.

May be they do not make a difference from what nationality we are, imo.

So what happens is you're not judged by where you are located, i.e. Bulgaria

But rather on which eBay platform/country you sell in. So if you sell on eBay.co.uk (UK), your listings will need to conform to UK policies.

So it doesn't really matter where you are registered.

Hope that explains your query.
