North Americans using ebay.co.uk, by graffy on Oct 24, 2010 0:19:01 GMT 1, I am curious if anyone is having much luck using ebay.co.uk from North America. I bought an applause about a month ago and the transaction went through smooth as can be. I am very happy with the print.
I have noticed there are a couple of attractive ebay sales that aren't shipping to North America. Any ideas?
I am interested in:
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300481008473
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120636448849
For obvious reasons the best prices on Banky prints are from the UK. I don't mind paying a few hundred GBP but can't afford a few thousand.
Cheers,

I don't think the option can be added mid-auction. If you're really interested in a particular item, you're best contacting the seller before bidding to see if they'd actually be prepared to ship. The contact link has now been moved to the bottom of the page.

I also have searches with alerts set up for I think almost every other ebay site around the world. I find about 50% of the sellers i contact are willing to ship to Canada. Just email and ask. Worth checking out because there is lots of great stuff in the UK.

North Americans using ebay.co.uk, by eastonpromise on Oct 24, 2010 3:12:38 GMT 1, It used to be the case that searching other countries ebay's worked better if you were not signed in as it would filter out loads that would not ship to your home country if you were signed in.
I also remember that if you did a direct search for a specific item then it would come up and you click "see other items from seller" and nothing would come up....sign out and then loads would pop up!
Don't know if this is still the case but worth a test.
As Ross said it is always worth a email to the seller a lot of sellers put "UK only" because they think that shipping abroad is an extra hassle etc, but if you can be positive in your message and maybe offer to arrange a courier and you have good feedback for reassurance then you might get lucky.
Failing that if its a must have Item maybe find a member on here that you trust to be a middleman?

North Americans using ebay.co.uk, by Wearology on Oct 24, 2010 12:31:36 GMT 1, Right now I am on the naughty list - I need to catch up on the art I promised many forum members that I am very late on sending out.
I feel like Pinochio for making public promises and not delivering yet. I want to be in England for Christmas - I love the march of Santa in London!
