About Listing on WorldWide Sites

[sylviebee]

I rarely check my seller preferences, but I just saw and option to list on Worldwide sites.

Mine was set the to US only but the options are as follows below.

Does this mean that there is no charge for listing on those sites?

I just checked them all.

I've never seen this before (but then I haven't looked for years).  Could this be why my International sales have plummeted?

I've answered one of my questions.  I listed a couple of items without thinking after I changed my site preferences and there are no added fees.

I really have to wonder if this is why my International sales hit rock bottom?

A large percentage of my sales used to be to Japan and the UK but that stopped about a year ago.

I wonder if this is why?

Two perspectives I have.

I list in US dollars which has been on the rise against all currencies for the last year. My international sales slumped as well.

I did a switch to "free" shipping back in January and my sales took off, both to the US and worldwide.

65% of all buyers never look at the description. 62% of all sales are "touched" by a mobile device.

Customers are using their phone to buy and not looking at the description or shipping.

Where are you seeing this? If it is in site preferences, which category is it under as I can't seem to find it.

[ricarmic]

Yep I couldn't find it either....

[sylviebee]

Go to site preferences and then to selling manager pro..........  

I never use SMP because I use a third party listing service and so this could have been available for a long time and I missed it.

Maybe it's new.

I do know that my International sales went to almost nothing while they used to be substantial and maybe it's because I wasn't using this option.

I stumbled on it because I was checking on something else.

Interesting.

Do you have a link to that?

Is it on the Sell Your Item form or only on the form from your 3rd party lister?

[pjcdn2005]

I just have selling manager, not smp and that doesn't seem to be an option for me. Out of curiosity, are you seeing that when you look at your preferences on .com and .ca?

I have no idea what it signifies however I have a feeling that it is something new. At one time a lot more of our listings did show up on other sites but in the last couple of years, our overseas visibility has dwindled.

Neither

go to site preferences under account and then look at the selling manager pro section.

I don't use Selling Manager Pro. It's messy and has features that I find clutter my workspace with no added benefit. Have we ascertained the access to this is limited only to it? 

[sylviebee]

Now that I're read the responses above I think it's probably a test as well.

I can't see that it makes any difference as far as International visibility goes.

[momcqueen]

It would be great if it did boost visibility. I pay for International site Visibility on a LOT of listings with no apparent results. I can only think that will get worse as I have only North American UPCs identified with my listings and not their 13-digit version.
