http://www2.ebay.com/aw/uk/200505.shtml#2005-05-16134350

that will come in handy

Could this be why www.ebayireland.com is asking me for a password lately?

zAbbo · 18-05-2005 10:19PM

aye noticed it, used to use ebayireland but this is now the same as ebay.ie

huzzah

It's about time, although I can see alot of people bidding on stuff and not paying because they haven't got a clue what Ebay is all about.

what do you mean no-one will pay posting, and there are other counties in ireland besides Dublin

sceptre · 19-05-2005 06:51PM

I guess those squatters from ebid.ie who registered Ebay Ireland Limited just so they could get the ebay.ie domain got a big brown envelope in the end so.

The General · 19-05-2005 07:25PM

Ebay.ie will never be as cheap as ebay.com i can garuntee it

Waltons · 19-05-2005 07:29PM

You won't have to pay to have things posted from the States though

revo · 19-05-2005 07:53PM

the majority of users would be from dublin. why order from usa though uk is the best i know theres something u cant get but at least u wont pay import or wat ever. i guarantee this will fail. just wait and see.

I still don't understand, ebayireland has been around for ages, and has a good few users, ok it wasn't fully catered to .ie.

And back to the postage issue, if you buy from .uk etc. you will still have to cover postage seperate to get it delivered here.

How do you know the majority of users would be from Dublin ?

Just interested why people you giving this the big no-no.

ps. its difficult to decipher your posts

So anyone used it yet? Still some bugs to fix, but looks ok.
You can transfer your existing ebay account over to .ie here:

http://cgi1.ebay.ie/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ChangeMyEmailLangLogin

cosgrove80 · 01-06-2005 04:51PM

When I go to ebay.ie it just asks for a username and password and wont let me in.

What's up with that?

Sidane · 01-06-2005 05:09PM

It's not open for business yet

Dades · 01-06-2005 05:27PM

I was able to "sign in" with my usual eBay login details. I ignored the large form boxes and clicked on the top link.

When you do a search though, unless you specify items located in Ireland (under the advanced search) you'll just get international items.

There appears to be feck all stuff located here but worth a look anyway.

Once you've transferred your account you can log in. For some reason you cannot yet do it using www.ebay.ie

besty · 01-06-2005 07:01PM

yea, i transferred my account but cant log in through ebay.ie
???

zAbbo · 01-06-2005 07:03PM

try reading the post above you

Kur4mA · 01-06-2005 07:52PM

I was probably the first person to transfer my reg to IE

And revo(i know you but you don't know me! HA), stop talking a load of shíte. There's already over 200,000 Irish users, they are all just spread out over the .com and .co.uk sites so it is fairly successfuly already. It's just a matter of persuading people to tranfer their reg to IE

CaptainPeacock · 01-06-2005 08:30PM

This is great news and all but it doesn't make up for the fact that I paid eBay for seller fees twice by bank draft and both times they stole my money without crediting my account. I'm still getting Final Notices. I wonder will this kind of thing change with ebay.ie?

Headshot · 02-06-2005 04:54PM

are they any irish people selling stuff on ebay yet

HaHa classic, I know you too (MR.LAPTOP) . i wasnt ditching it but i just think sales on eBay ireland would not be as good as you know yourself UK is much larger market. its just my thought thats all :cool:

Kingp35 · 02-06-2005 05:14PM

why are nearly all the listings still in sterling?? Also when I do a search it doesnt just search items in ireland they way the .co.uk site searches england.

It think it still needs alot of work

Probably because there hasn't really been anything listed on IE since the protection was only removed a day or so ago so people are only recently able to access it and transfer their account over to IE. It will probably default to searching for all items 'available to Ireland' or else just search the UK site for the moment.

vibe666 · 07-06-2005 07:55AM

just got an email from ebay.ie to say they have arrived. did a quick search before posting, and foun d this thread. guess i was the last to know!

For years there have been people selling things. Some is crap tourist stuff while other stuff is just the usual ebay fodder. There is some guy who sells the magazines that come free with the Sunday papers (he seems to make a lot of money too!)
