Of course, this won’t please sellers who list in categories outside the Collectables area, nor Irish sellers who have been equally badly hit by the loss of US visibility. But for some, this change should bring Christmas a little earlier this year.

Back comes the TL results: eBay UK items uploaded successfully, eBay France items blocked because I have reached my international selling limit. Let me stress: this is an account that was registered more than seven years ago, it’s about to hit a shooting star and it’s been regularly listing on eBay France for a year now. If upping the qualifying feedback from 25 to 50 for Irish sellers to sell internationally was crazy, how much more crazy is this? [...] [...] So this afternoon, I was uploading some listings with Turbo Lister, some to eBay UK and some to eBay France.

When oh when are governments going to wake up to the shenanigans that are affecting national economies globally, that are being spawned Bush-like from a company that touts itself as being community and fair-trade focussed? What's next for the Emerald Isle? The same restrictions on international visibility as eBays in Singapore, Malaysia, Phillipines et all? I.e. (no pun intended) visible only by logging into those sites, no integrated PayPal payments, no invoicing tools, and no shipping options other than to those sites' own redidents? And adventurous tourists from the States are shocked to find why their nation is so despised in other countries? Is it any wonder when American CEOs play with peoples livelihoods in this manner?

(Is there a sudden increase in fraud by Irish sellers that hasn't been reported in the news?) Anyway, I'd suggest a few "Letters to the editor" from concerned citizens in the Republic to get an open public debate going...
