woolybanana Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Anybody got experience of selling on e-bay France svp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yes, it's no problem at all. I have both bought and sold items and have yet to have a problem. The same cannot be said for my experiences with transactions in the UK.I once sold a two-seater canoe to a family in Montpellier. They arranged for a camion to collect it, who dutifully arrived, gave me a cheque for the full amount and drove off with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartref Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi,Just wondered, do you have a Paypal account here in France? If so do you have a problem using it? I had one in the UK, no probs at all but as yet over here I have only brought from the UK using my Nationwide cheque account. However, that falls down when cheques are not accepted. I also have a French cheque book, but would maybe like to start and sell stuff now. Are you registered on ebay.fr or ebay.co.uk?sorry for all the questions [:(]but your experiences would be useful to me.cartref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've only just startd using eBay.fr but have used eBay.co.uk extensively (currently 278 positive feedback (100%)) and have not had any problems whatsoever.The question is does eBay.fr have a future ?CLICK HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Cartref:Paypal works internatioinally.My A\C is linked to my Nationwide A\C so € payments go through at decent rates and without punitive fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I assume that ebay accounts work by the addresses of the holders, do they, if you are, say, selling? So if you give an address in France then that automatically becomes your ebay base area? You cant be say be based in ebay UK with a French address and vice versa?

Will Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 In my experience if you originally regster with an address in France then everything is in French - even your messages and e-mails, regardless of where you send or receive - and Paypal accounts are linked to France too. Although you can change delivery addresses, bank details etc, it is impossible to swap accounts between countries without starting a completely new account, and thus losing your history. It's certainly impossible with Paypal, in theory it should be possible with ebay itself, but I haven't managed to do it and ebay seems incapable of cohenrently answering my questions about how it could be done.

AnOther Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I opened a new A\C with eBay.fr so now have 2 completely separate A\C's with different names so my UK history has no connection to my French A\C. Both are linked to my single Paypal A\C though.Also, on eBay UK I can change my address between UK (daughters address) and France at any time so for sellers who won't post to France I can still have stuff sent to UK.
