multiple shipping address bidding on items abroad

[rogiervdheide]

I bid on items both in the US of which the seller offers domestic US shipping only, and on items in Germany of which the seller ships to Germany only.

I have offices in both countries and they are entered in eBay as my shipping addresses. However, only one of them can be my "primary" shipping address.

How to snipe on two items that ship to different countries only, while their auction end time is around about the same time?

Should I enter different "primary" shipping addresses on the two different eBay country sites and then set the "target" site for the Main Gixen Site to USA and the one for the Mirror Gixen Site to Germany?

Because if I do nothing, I will not be able to purchase at least one of the items. There will be one seller that will automatically cancel my winning bid, for the reason that s/he does not ship to the country I have set in the "primary" address.

I have had this happening many times, and I want to solve it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Rogier,

The best way to deal with this is to have 2 ebay accounts - one US, and one German.

I myself do a similar thing, as I am in Canada but often buy in the US, so I have both US and Canadian eBay account.

As for Gixen, you can also either have 2 Gixen accounts (recommended) or re-link your ebay account whenever needed.
