    Default International Listing Showing UK Currency instead of Euros

    Hi, I am in the process of revamping my listings and have stumbled upon a problem. When listed to Europe the item price and postage both show in UK Currency rather than Euros. There is button to convert the price to whichever Countries currency for the postage, but no way of seeing the item price in the foreign currency.
    Before I searched on the international site I had logged out of ebid and run CCleaner so there should have been no link to the fact that I was from England. I am sure when I have viewed foreign items showing the UK that the price was converted to our currency; so surely that should be the case when the search is reversed.

    I have also noticed that the postage that is shown is for the UK not Europe.

    This is one of the listings that I had converted for selling internationally: https://www.ebid.net/es/for-sale/978..._to=no&zip_to=

    Just a thought...

    Have you tried taking the Holiday Notice off and see if the issue goes away. It could be connected.

    The listing in question is showing as follows when searched for on the eBid Europe site.

    Yes I do agree than when one opens the listing it shows the price as pounds sterling.

    My guess (and it is only a guess) is that the site is picking up my IP Address which is in England and thus displaying the price in sterling.

    Thanks for the help there, it seems it is a glitch tied in with the notices. I went back and tried the listing through the Spanish site with my VPN first set to London, then again set to Madrid, with the same results. Then tried a third time using the Madrid VPN after removing the holiday notice and it showed correctly.
