Default I Luuuuuuuvvv the UK!

Anybody else taking advantage of the 40 cent offer to have your listings show up on eBayUK? Wow wee...My sales have been awesome! I don't keep up with all of the eBay changes (something I'm working on) but I have always offered my items to the UK, and thought they were already showing up on ebayUK so what is so different now? I remember getting a message from eBay about it, and it said it would be 40cents for 3 days only. So is the price gonna go up? I would pay $20 to keep getting this kind of exposure! This is the first time eBay has made me happy since my first sale.

It costs 10p (20 cents) in the UK to get your item listed on ebay USA and ebay Canada. So you are actually being overcharged

Maybe us Brits will have to start listing over there to even things up a bit

Yes I agree, prices are a lot cheaper than here. At the prices I buy my stock at I don't think I'd be able to make any money if I lived in the USA and was just selling to the US market.

I think wages are lower in the US though. I was in Florida last year and I had a look at one of the free Job papers in Walmart. They were advertising for Disney Bus drivers at $13 per hour.
