    Is there a search engine that will give results for all ebay sites, .com, .ie, .co.uk etc?

    Some things can be a good bit cheaper on other european sites like german ebay, babelfish can translate these for you. Some things have a "going rate" of up to 25% less on some ebay sites rather than the ie, com or uk sites.

    Don't know if this is much good, but if you use the advanced search options, you can search for products anywhere in the world, rather than just in the Ireland / EU / States etc.

    I think the search engine can be a little too clever by default - there are lots of sellers in the States who will happily ship to you, if you ask them for a price.

    I too would love to see a world wide ebay site search engine, as items listed on some ebay country sites dont show up even if you select worldwide in the search options.
    IE.Half the goods on the US website dont show up on the ebay.ie site as most US sellers only state they will ship to the US & Canada therefore aren't made available to searches on ebay.ie, however if you ask most US sellers they will accomidate EU buyers.
    Just have to search ebay.com,.co.uk,.ie for whatever your looking for! Hence I book mark the search pages with items listed Newest first and check each day !

    Like I said, if you go to the advanced search page, there is an option to select "Items located in" and a dropdown box. The second option is "Any Country/Region".

    I just did a quick search, and it showed up items in the US that ship only to the US, so it looks to be what the OP is looking for. This should save you having to hit a load of different webservers.

    Yep seems to be working, thanks a lot. I could have sworn I had tried this before.

    They seem to be changing a few aspects (certainly the feedback part), so this could a new thing.
