we have a very active ebay account due to incessant book/dvd consumption

I tried this via ebay UK site and still the same. I guess that ebay recognises the computer location (USA) but uses the default of my UK town, so the two dont correspond, the weird thing is that it gives me an option to change the country itself (i tried making it the UK) but that didnt work wither.

so the question is this: Is anybody out there registered with ebay UK who is now in the USA and having a problem getting past the auction location part?

thanks.

You can now change your address (including the country of residence) on the site. If you go into "My Ebay" and then my account and then addresses, you can change both the delivery addresses and your home address. There is a change country link against where your existing country is. I hope this is of some help....

It also refused to list in $Au and would only list in £. I emailed them and they said they couldn't do anything it was a "software problem" and I would just have to keep trying. They also said if I was a UK seller, I would always be a UK seller. After 2 weeks of frustration I had to abandon my old account and open a new Aus based one.

brync,

does this include the registration address? I was thinking of that but as that toes in with the bank account taht eay is linked to i wasnt sure. Ive seen that you can change the delivery address.

thanks.

I changed mine, but I don't think I had to do anything special apart from maybe creating a new [US] Paypal account.

So did you have to use a new user ID, did you also lose your old feedbacks?
