<img src="http://buildaskill.com/board/Smileys/ellow_yellow/icon_hissyfit.gif" alt="" /> When will they learn that attracting buyers relies on wide-ranging product choice, and that excluding non-residents just doesn't assist with that aim?  eBay Australia suffers from the same blinkered viewpoint.

Is this just part of the apparently ongoing drive to further fragment the "global marketplace" eBay once represented?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few years, in various announcements and forum posts, staff at eBay UK have stated that the UK subsidiary has up to twenty million registered accounts, and at different times the active user number has been placed at between six and twelve million.  It's well known that many people have more than one account on the site, whether for differentiating stock between seller accounts, or for remaining anonymous on the public forums to prevent malicious bidding because someone disagrees with a statement posted.

The total eBay staff in the UK has only ever been stated once, and I was very surprised then to read it was under 100 given that the site was, at that time, eBay's second largest market after the US.  Numbers may have grown since that time with the addition of the customer support centre in Dublin, but even that cannot dilute the disparity between the number of users and the number of staff when the user community is up in arms.

And up in arms the users certainly are ...]]></description>

Shipping choices, sale handling time, and returns, policies are all changing this autumn.

Triggered by an eBay Developers Program news announcement, the sequence of <strong>events most affecting sellers began on Monday this week</strong> with the requirement that all sellers specify at least one domestic shipping option.  Overseas sellers can select "Seller's Standard Rate", or variations including economy and expedited, in order to avoid having to name USPS services not available from other countries.

In what is becoming typical eBay style, the tools to enable sellers to quickly respond to, and comply with, changing policies will not be available until after the policy is in force.  Currently sellers will need to edit listings one-by-one from their "My eBay" or Selling Manager tools, or by going into each listing and doing it from there ...]]></description>
