You can show your asking price/opening bid in U.S. dollars and it shows it converted into their currency next to it.
My question was more along the lines of launching an auction and if anyone lists their auctions directly on the other boards rather than accepting foreign bids on U.S. listings.

Jeanne, I usually only list directly on the international eBay sites if there is a Free Listing Day. There are several auction posting services that allow you to list directly to the international sites (AuctionSage and AuctionTamer are two). For today's Fixed Price FLD on eBay UK, I downloaded eBay's TurboLister and used that. It's free, which is a good price. Didn't take me that long to figure it out.

stopwhining-I have a PAL video machine and have bought and corresponed with people from Germany.
As far as a language barrier,there shouldnt be
any.Most of them speak English and all of their video titles are listed in English.They use the
Euro,which is only a few cents differnt then the
dollar.

Actually it about 2/3. A$1 = $0.657 today that is. 6 months ago it was about half. Try this converter. http://www.xe.com/pca/ With the A$ rising against the US$ Us Aussies are more likely to buy from the US than before. I just bought my new digital camera from a US store. I list my auction through Vendio direct to ebay US and there is no problems.
Cheers,

Also, the Euro buys about $1.17 US - The US dollar has really declined lately. This is good for US based ebay sellers who have a large overseas customer base. I know I've gotten more orders from Europe lately, as things are about 15% cheaper than they were just a few months ago. Of course, it makes it more expensive for us to buy things overseas...
