"Maximize your listing's visibility"
Maybe I've gone for too long- maybe I just didn't notice.
I always believed we received equal exposure in the UK- as is evidenced by the number of items we ship there.
NOW eBay WANTS TO CHARGE FOR EXPOSURE IN THE UK ?????
Am I missing something here?
Anyone want to tackle a comment on what is a very slippery slope?
What next- a PREMIUM for exposure on eBay.COM, when listing on eBay.CA ?????
SOMETHING IS VERY VERY VERY WRONG HERE!

IF A SELLER SELECTS WORLDWIDE then their listings will be included when a BUYER SEARCHES AND WISHES TO INCLUDE international sellers as well.
The new thing that is being offered by eBay...the one you pay for...will make it so that if someone in the UK searches for example *eyelets*...all sellers in the UK AND those that have paid the fee to be in the same list as the domestic UK sellers will have their eyelet listings shown.
Otherwise...as I mentioned a buyer has to purposely look and include international sellers.
I have more international buyers than Canadian buyers so I don't think I'll be paying for this service at this time.
Hope this helps,
Susan

HOWEVER- that said- having listed many items on the UK site- especially things that would most likely appeal to the UK market (BAMFORTH SEASIDE HUMOUR POSTAL CARDS)- I am inclined to simply list in the UK!
Been there- and will continue to do that.
So- why pay a fee for some exposure- when you can have FULL exposure at a slightly greater cost!
As an aside- what about ALL the other countries outside of the UK???
Is eBay going to start a shopping list- so that if you offer to ship to a country- you can now opt to pay for each country 'a la carte'?
We are forced by eBay's crazy view of the world to accept some countries, lumped together, that we will not ship to. Respecting those countries laws- we do not ship there- PERIOD! eBay lumps countries together in a way that precludes us from ever offering WORLDWIDE shipping. And, the breakdown of the world is not narrow enough for our liking.

When you choose this optional upgrade in the Sell Your Item form, your item will be displayed in regular search results for buyers shopping on eBay UK. This way, your item receives added exposure for less than it would cost to list directly on both sites. Although this feature is only available for eBay UK today, we'll be adding more markets as time goes on.
Please note that this feature does not change anything with respect to Canadian listings appearing on eBay.com. Today, when a seller lists an item on eBay.ca and indicates they will ship to the USA, that listing shows up in regular search results on eBay.com just as if it was listed on eBay.com. We have no plans to change that arrangement.
Outline of Cross-Border Options for Your Listing
We saw a lot of good questions about sellers' international options after our original announcement. Here's an outline to help Canadian sellers understand the different ways to get seen by buyers in the UK.
When you list on eBay.ca and select "international shipping" on your listing, UK buyers will see it when:
they customize their search to find international items - your listing will appear within the regular search results, along with UK-based items.
their search returns a low number of UK-based items - relevant international items, such as yours, will be displayed in a box underneath the results (just like on the Canadian site).
If you list directly on eBay UK, your listing will be displayed in search results just like any other UK-based listing. This would be completely separate from your Canadian listings, and you would pay the UK listing fees.
NEW!! - If you list your item on eBay.ca with the new International Visibility listing upgrade, your item will be shown in regular UK search results.
Now sellers also have the option of using our International Site Visibility upgrade to give the items you've already listed in the Canada or the US extra exposure in the UK. Simply select the "International Site Visibility" upgrade during the listing process, and your item will be shown in the regular UK search results like other UK-based items.
Important note: Whenever selling internationally, make sure to specify your international shipping costs. Buyers are more likely to purchase items with this information, and it can positively affect where your item is displayed in search results when the buyer is using the Best Match sort order.
International Site Visibility Listing Upgrade Fees
In the Canada, the fees to use this optional upgrade are as follows:
Start Price (US$ or C$) Upgrade Fee (US$ or C$)
$0.01 - 9.99 10 cents
$10 - 49.99 20 cents
$50+ 40 cents
I hope this helps more sellers increase their global reach and expand their businesses. For all the details, please see our help page.
Note that this feature will only be available for listings on eBay Canada’s English selling flows. It will not be supported on French Canadian selling flows.
Hope this explains it better,
Susan

Just watch this NEW CONCEPT explode all over the place.
It's an even slipperier slope than anyone can imagine.
And- who's to say that eBay.CA & eBay.COM will continue to share their 'so called' special relationship?

There is no profit made from yachting. At least most people don't make profit from it.
If nobody noticed, I was just being sarcastic to the use of a word hobby in the context of selling on eBay and making 30k profits a month as has been bragged here several times.

eBay sales take place in a PUBLIC FORUM.
I cannot fathom here what the fuss about privacy is.
As far as I am concerned eBay is wasting both its time, and money appealing any case regarding providing this information.
ALL FILES- every last one of them- should simply be turned over to Canada Revenue Agency- and let the CRA sort out what they want.
Anyone coming here- and trying to hide something has an agenda contrary to the public good. There is no secrecy in a PUBLIC FORUM.
All the auctions that made POWER SELLERS what they were in 2004/2005 were there for ALL to see. So what's the big fuss about?
THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT A SECRET THEN- AND IT SHOULDN'T BE A SECRET NOW!
eBay may have protected the identity of a BUYER- through the mechanisms of a PRIVATE AUCTION. HOWEVER- eBay never permitted that the SELLER remain anonymous !!!!!
IF YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING (like brag about you income- whether reported or not)- SO BLATANTLY OUT IN THE OPEN- NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN SUDDENLY HIDE THOSE ACTIONS.

International search result should be a default on any site search, no need to specify it.
I hope nobody bites the bates and become another sucker.
