USA traffic to Ebid

[buyer123]

I am sure Ebid traffic is firmly in place in the UK, however, what is the US traffic like to this site? As a seller in the United States I am getting views but I believe these views maybe coming from my cousins from across the pond. I would like my friends in the UK and other parts of the world to buy from me, but shipping can be a real deal killer. So is there anyway to tell?

Shipping should never be a problem. Sales are good anywhere.

if your items are reasonably priced then shipping should be no problem the us and uk economy will be the hardest hitting at the moment as both are in freefall , just from the amount now being listed on usa site it is growing rapidly , just stick with it and list anything that is not nailed down but do ask your spouses permission first as it can lead to a divorce case lol

Do you speak from experience, Merlin(re the asking spouses per.)

I can't answer the original question, but I do disagree with the posters who've told you shipping shouldn't be a problem. I've often been put off an otherwise attractive US purchase because it couldn't be shipped to me at a reasonable price. Whenever I have bought from the US (books, usually, so often heavy) I've almost always bought several additional items to that I was really after, to spread the cost of shipping over several items - then sell on the things I didn't want myself to recoup those costs. So I'd say good discounts for multiple items can be a help when trying to sell to the UK. At least, it works with me!

well the last time i listed her it put me in debt so i nearly divorced her lol never use featured when selling your wife infact avoid putting picture on also ask for bank transfer so the buyer cannot send back as item not as described
