While we're barshing eBay, I wonder why when I go onto the Belgian eBay site, looking for a specific item, it would not let me bid at all? I had to pull up the item number on the USA site to be able to bid on it. The seller had no problem selling to a 'Merican, but the dumb site hated my bid until I went in through the back door via the USA site, where the item was not even in the index pages.
I have a log on id I use on Germany and Austria and Italy and Spain and the UK the Netherlands and France etc
My wife uses a differend logon id for Belgium
We are both registered on ebay Belgium
I do not know why but if I want to buy something she saw with her log in id I have to put the item number in search and half the time it does not find the item
So I have to try and log on into ebay Belgium confusing the hell out of my computer who only recognizes her logon into ebay Belgium and once I have logged in
she cannot login anymore cause now the computer only recognizes my id in Belgium
So yes ; my american coindealing friend told me the only way to buy is to put the item number in the American ebay
Another pain is that if I am logged into my ebay germany which I always do that if I want to add an item to my ebay from France or Belgium i have to open again my ebay for that country . So on a busy day I could be logged into 5 different My ebays to add items
On ebay bashing . An ebay manager in Germany was reported not to trust Paypal and refuse its use unless identity was proven . What a joke. This was allover the German net
