Is NZ part of the ePN program? Or Ireland? I've looked in my ePN account, and the only countries I can see are: eBay US eBay AU eBay BE eBay IN eBay CA eBay SG eBay HK eBay FR eBay IT eBay ES eBay UK eBay NL Does this mean I won't get anything from sales made on eBay NZ or eBay IE? I'm working on a new geo targeted script, and I don't know what to do with visitors from countries not in the list - especially countries that have their own eBay. ??? Suggest Me Plz?
I know it may sound stupid, but have you asked their support via contact us?? I have used this a couple of times and their response has been really quick ie less than three hours and I received answers from a real person. Otherwise I do not know the answer
Hi, sounds like you are having the same problem as me - have a look at the discussion I had on my blog: http://www.itsgottabered.com/wordbay/2008/a-discussion-of-ebay-sites-and-the-epn-program/ It doesn't have all the answers, but I hope it clears some things up for you. In short, not all eBay country sites appear to be in EPN!
Bugger. So I guess the only thing to do is send Irish visitors to eBay UK, and NZ visitors to eBay AU etc... or maybe just send them all to the US site.
I'm in NZ and as far as I know there is no eBay NZ, it usually redirects me to eBay AU. Most NZ'ers don't use eBay since Trademe dominates here.
AHA! What happens when you do a search on http://www.ebay.co.nz/ ? Do you end up on eBay.com.au? I'm in AU, and I get redirected to eBay.COM if I do a search on eBay.co.nz.
On ebay.co.nz it is targetted to NZ'ers but when you search you seem to get both US/NZ results. I don't think you have to worry much about NZ'ers buying off of eBay because theres hardly anything listed - e.g. I searched ps3 and got 1 item.
But NZers DO buy internationally from eBay don't they? From ebay.com and ebay.com.au - or do you all use trademe?
I don't think many do, maybe a few from Australia but shipping is too expensive and its cheaper to buy from here. I'm not sure if the cookie would work if you set a eBay Australia/US one?
I think ebay NZ is the only western site they've registered but do nothing with. It could be due to competition from the huge site Trademe or lack of time, but I'm waiting patiently for the EPN NZ programme too.
eBay Ireland is run from eBay UK so anything you want to market in Ireland you can do so through eBay UK.
