I guess I am channeling Andy Roonie this morning. Everything I have looked at so far has made me ask why and who.

Why do my US auctions not show in the general listing on eBay UK when I have selected worldwide shipping? They do show, but it is in the area we would normal look for store listings.

Since Ebay throws all the UK listings into our search pages, why don't we get same coverage on eBay.uk?

Also, does anyone use the "compare" page and how do you think it affects your sales if that is the only thing the buyer is reading?

I often wondered about the UK thing, too. Doesn't seem fair.

BTW, I love Andy Roonie!

It's a huge advantage for my UK competitors and since 30% of my sales are international, grossly unfair!

Pixia, those were my thoughts exactly!

I can not even get rid of the ebay.us uk listings from search by limiting searches to US only. It is something that has always annoyed me.

And know I find that my international buyers have to go to the extra trouble of finding my listings. Annoying is the nicest word I can think of for it.

I too think it is grossly unfair, LtRay. Wish I knew what we could do about it.

When I first saw your subject line, I was afraid to look at the thread--afraid that Andy had died. What a neat guy he is.

I wonder if it's something in eBay's contract to do business in the UK. Even so, they need to level the playing field, IMO.
