bidding on items on ebay.com

[david79838]

I tried to bid on an item on ebay.com, but lost out because "the seller does not ship to the UK" - I have now changed my ebay site to ebay.com in settings - can you confirm that any bids I log will now be accepted (my daughter is currently working in the US and I get such items I win sent to her address, then pick them up when I visit).

thanks

David

They will not work - you must register an account with a US address, that's the only way. Not even changing the address to a US one will help if the account was originally registered with a non US address.

This, however, depends on the seller - not all sellers impose this restriction. There is no way to know ahead of time, except to try placing a small bid manually and see if it goes through. If it does, the snipe will go through as well.
