Comments on: Best match “Item Location” factor enabled on eBay Canada http://tamebay.com/2008/07/best-match-item-location-factor-enabled-on-ebay-canada.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:01:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mark Classic http://tamebay.com/2008/07/best-match-item-location-factor-enabled-on-ebay-canada.html#comment-37710 Mark Classic Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:52:48 +0000 http://www.tamebay.com/?p=3137#comment-37710 This is not good. We are in the UK, listing on .com and get 0 visibility on the UK site. Best match is working for us at the moment, but this would not do us any favours if .com adopted this. I am glad we are working on our website, at any time, Ebay could just blank our listings on .com and the only thing to tell us would be a drop off in sales overnight. This would also be negative for UK sellers who are paying the "extra" to be seen on .com. This may just be a local thing though, as Canadian sellers really do find it tough, with their expensive postage etc (so I have heard), let us hope so anyway :-) Mark This is not good.

It looks to me like it will strongly encourage sellers back to the bad old days of location misrepresentation. eBay Canada understandably always seem a bit protectionistic, so we can but hope that the rest of us have a bit longer to sell where the money is.
