To sell more internationally beyond the US, is it better to list on ebay.com or stick to ebay.ca?

If you are a Canadian seller looking to increase your international visibility to countries beyond the US, is it better to post your items to ebay.ca or to ebay.com? Of course .com is better for US buyers but I'm more interested in appealing to buyers worldwide. Does the .com site get more international traffic or anything like that?

Some items have a lot of competition in the US but are easy to ship abroad. And it seems many US sellers don't bother to set up international shipping, or only use the slow and costly International Shipping Program. There are faster and cheaper options available to compete abroad.

It's less likely that international buyers ever sign into .ca but as long as your item is set up with US shipping and shipping to the buyers country, they will see your listing on either site. 

If you are asking if a listing originating on.com will be more likely to show on an international site, i don't know the answer.   My guess would be that listings with eBay international shipping (which is for US sellers) "might" be more likely to shown on another site.   But the way I understand it, where your items shows depends on numerous factors and I suspect that where the item is listed isn't an important factor.   

Keep in mind that if you list on .com and your payouts are in $C you will be paying extra in conversion fees.
