UK Ebay listing failure now showing as selling in America?

[clive-a-davis]

I am based in the UK and listed two items. There is a reoccurring issue where Ebay listings keep failing. I have now found that the two items are showing being listed in US dollars and the shipping is only through UPS?

How do I amend this to UK £s and shipping through the Royal Mail. There is a Post Office at the end of the road and this is the easiest option

Are you logging on via eBay. com or eBay.uk?

[clive-a-davis]

I logged in using the favourites saved in the search engine. This has always been the same and not had this problem before

But when you first log on, is it showing .UK or .COM?

I am not sure as I not expecting it to be anything different

Check the address bar at the top of your browser.

If it says https://www.ebay.co.uk, you are on the UK site

If it says https://www.ebay.com/ you are on the US site

It says ebay.co.uk when I look at the listing but ebay.com if I try to revise it

You need to sort these listings out quickly as eBay may require you to register for VAT if your listings appear to come from overseas, as overseas sellers or sellers with items that appear to be listed overseas must register for VAT by law. 

This thread seems to have some relevance as this sellers listings are also showing as in the US despite item location being Shetland, UK

Just a thought - re your listings? Have you at any point been researching or comparing prices and then clicked the 'sell one yourself', without realising that the original item was being sold in the US? If so, your listing may default to USA settings. 

It was happening fairly frequently in Feb/March, although the issue was supposed to have been rectified.

You have live listings on the US site, some of which also appear on the UK site.

This may be the source of the problem, although quite how to solve it is another matter

Also $99 million for a model kit might be a tad optomistic.

I am going to cancel the listings to avoid the VAT issue
