    Hi,

    Just wondering on eBay Ireland is it normal that most of the stuff listed for sale is always in british pounds.
    I want to buy stuff from china and at this stage I'm sick of paying crazy conversion rates.

    Is it because Chinese seller wants sterling or what is going on?

    Weird stuff, postage is always listed in euros but Item selling in Pounds?

    Thanks

    Is there not an option to have it displayed in Euro.

    I use eBay.ie and see it in Euro, but maybe I've set location to IE too, can't remember but it can be done

    Still the same. It shows euro, when I click on the item it changes to euro.

    This time I looked at cycling jerseys in Italy, and still coming up in euros. :eek:

    Im gona email ebay now and see whats going on...

    Even if you set yourself to ebay.ie and have all the prices shown in euro, in case seller has his items listed in pounds, you'll be charged for currency conversion. :P
