Over the last couple of weeks I have seen several posts that mentioned listing on the "foreign site (Germany,UK,Japan). Here is my question.
I logged on to EbayUK, with my US handle and PWord and then did search for my listed items, they popped up on the screen which got me to thinking. If your product shows up on a search within these sites, what are the advantages of listing site specific and then how do you accomplish that.
Do you have to open a new account for each site and can you use the same credit card and address that is on file here in the US?
Does anybody go down this road?.
Many thanks

It depends on the site. Some of the foreign sites do require seperate registration and listing, some use your US info. Generally, if it is a foreign language site, count on it working independently of others.
As for ebay Japan, I should have done more research.....it does not exist. They shut it down due to poor performance. Yahoo rules Japan.

it is my understanding that if you say you ship worldwide,your listing is accessible by foreign bidders.
i have seen aussie and uk listings when i search on ebay usa .

Stopwhining, you are correct. If the seller ships worldwide it is accessible to other countries. In ebay Australia though it only shows Aussie listings by default. You have to click a separate link to see items "Available to Australia" I would guess that the other ebay countries are probably similar.

I've thought that too. If half of ebay's listing are 'ship worldwide' then there should be 5 million ebay-usa auctions on every ebay-other country auction.
