Listing on ebay.xx with international shipping?
 

Hi,
this may sound as a noob question... probably it is a noob question, but I cannot run a test myself in this moment... wondering if someone already knows:

listing an item, for example on ebay.it with "international shipping worldwide", means that it is visible also on other ebay sites (worldwide)?

or

it is just for people looking for items on ebay.it and then could be shipped anywhere?

Pàrdon my noobieness. :rolleyes:

If you list your item with "international shipping worldwide" and offer Paypal then it should be available to buyers on other sites like .com, co.uk etc.

However make sure you offer Paypal. Some German and French sellers dont offer it and their listings only show up on the German site - presumably because they only wish to sell to German or French buyers.

I buy a lot of stuff from Germany and France that show up on .com although I do search the German and French sites as well. Ive occasionally bought from Italian sellers items that appeared on .com.

Thank You but what is the advantage of directly listing on .com .co.uk or any other site if the item is available anyway and,
why eB is not giving the possibility, for new accounts, to list on other sites other than the registration/original one?

Advantage is increased exposure to people who search

I know you are in Italy & never had Italian customer but every German customer has screwed me hard. Threatening bad feedback and not wanting to return item but claiming it is ****. WTF? Why would you want it? But dumb ass eb & pp let them keep it and issue full refund and I still get bad feedback. So I turned the global crap off on all my accounts because 1 in 4 successful sales is not profitable. Not to mention the aggravation. Good Luck though.

...ohhh... I can tell you a secret now... Italians are even more nasty and evil than our German neighborhoods. Time ago we were allies and then enemies, but that was around 1945 at the very end of the war.
Now we are allied again and we have a plan to steal all that we can from around the globe.
I am not form Naples, but there... there are really the worse... they learned from the arabs and from all the mediterranian pirates which are all our friend.
We are a big italian family and we make offers around the world, nobody can't refuse...

Anyway... you are quite out of the subject in here.

Italians are also very hard bargainers and simply wont take no for an answer. I have just banned one from my Etsy shop.

She wanted me to send expensive items untracked and with the reputation the Italian postal system has for things going "missing" I said no - the price I quote is the price you pay. I then got a lecture on what other sellers were charging. Well I dont give a flying f**k what others are charging. Let them run their business their way and I will run mine my way. Shipping is an add on service, and I aint a gonna send valuabe stuff untracked for the Italian postal workers to pinch.

Dont get me wrong. I have some lovely regular Italian buyers but they know their postal system is crap. Many Ebay sellers have blocked Italy entirely.

I try not to make blanket statements on a country's buyers :) each person is individual

This sounds quite reasonable to me.
Thanks.
