Comments on: eBay Spain advantage Spanish listings in search results http://tamebay.com/2008/09/ebay-spain-advantage-spanish-listings-in-search-results.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Thu, 24 May 2012 23:52:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: TekGems http://tamebay.com/2008/09/ebay-spain-advantage-spanish-listings-in-search-results.html#comment-12623 TekGems Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:44:53 +0000 http://www.tamebay.com/?p=4311#comment-12623 This is actually very good news if this gets implemented in the USA. The computers and electronics category has been flooded by sellers from Hong Kong and mainland China. Since a short window between purchase and delivery makes customer happy, I like the idea of de-ranking foreign sellers. The next step for eBay is to only index view item pages that originate from their respective sites. For example, if an item is listed from eBay UK, the link on Google is eBay.co.uk not eBay.com This is actually very good news if this gets implemented in the USA.

In the middle of last year eBay.be, in addition to the items listed on eBay.be, suddenly started showing all listings on eBay UK, FR, DE and NL in standard search or browsing, provided items were shipped to Belgium and identical category numbers existed on both sites. By doing this, some categories became swamped with international listings. Hence, a few weeks later eBay.be started showing items with item location Belgium first. eBay.nl did similar changes, showing also items listed on eBay UK, DE and BE in standard search results, but not showing listings on eBay.fr, and also showing items with item location in the Netherlands first. Both eBay.be and eBay.nl still use “items ending soonest” as default sorting. Similar things happened here in Belgium and also in the Netherlands.
