Are eBay.com & eBay.ca not speaking anymore?

Please tell me I'm not alone in noticing this... Tonight I had a buyer contact me through eBay Messages to ask what sort of offer I'd accept on a "Best Offer" item (I was on .ca, the buyer was in the U.S., so likely on .com). Normally I don't care fo...

Can I list an item in the US from Canada but in US dollars?

My previous attempts have only allowed me to list in Canadian dollars that Ebay will convert to US dollars for US customers. That means that I can't list a round number (for instance, $300.) on my Buy-It-Now listings. To me, if it's not a round numbe...
