[quote="Cupid"][quote="misnomer"]Say, there's a listing for 10 GBP and you put 12 in the "your bid" box. It's 12 GBP, not USD, correct?[/quote] Not exactly, all bidding on all eBay sites and all eBay auctions is in the currency of the auction. A UK listing could be in USD its just not as likely. That applies to all biding through Gixen also, so you need to check each auction to see what the currency is before placing a snipe amount.[/quote]

When you place a bid amount for an eBay UK listing (from, say, a US or Canadian account), will it be in GBP? Or rather, will the bid be placed in the site's default currency (GBP for .co.uk, USD for .com, CAD for .ca, and so on)? <br /> <br />Say, there's a listing for 10 GBP and you put 12 in the "your bid" box. It's 12 GBP, not USD, correct? <br /> <br />I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but perhaps having the currency displayed would be a cool new feature. :)</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Cupid</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 1:47 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I live in the United Kingdom, I bid on UK auctions using gixen all the time (though I do buy things worldwide as well), there are no issues with gixen in this respect it works fine. <br /> <br />eBay accounts are global you can use them on any site, but you can only bid on auctions that will ship to the location at which the account is registered. <br /> <br />A couple of things you should consider though, bear in mind the cost of shipping and be sure you know what you are going to be expected to pay for this if you win. Also dont forget that you are bidding in the currency of the auction, if its a UK listing that is most likely to be British Pounds, you can pay those using Paypal but you should consider how many dollars that is going to cost you and bid/snipe accordingly.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Gastric</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Sep 18, 2008 10:04 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: US user sniping UK listings</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I'm a US user.

In fact, after months of using Gixen I have yet to win a snipe yet as I'm always outbid by a few dollars a few seconds after my own bids, though I'm not necessarily saying that's Gixen's fault. <br /> <br />Has anyone done UK bids from US accounts?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
