I know it's only in beta but I can only find my auctions on the global site (supposedly not included) and none of my BIN stuff (supposedly included). What are they trying to do? Anybody else had a look? What’s going on then?

Mind you, it is a post-communist country, but - along with other countries like Slovenia or Estonia - far from what you probably think of... Italy is more corrupted, Germany has shabier parts, UK has far worse health care... So c'mon - we don't live in 1989!

Interesting that auctions will not be included. eBay could have taken an ISV fee for those. Also interesting that my fixed price listings will show by default simply by selecting International Shipping to those countries, yet those listings do not show by default in Germany or US. Strange that. German, UK and US buyers might be better served by logging on to the International Site. Is this the forerunner of a new eBay Worldwide site? Import duties will be an issue for buyers from US sellers and for buyers from all sellers to Norway and Russian Federation. I have experience of selling to Norway, low duty threshold and quite high duties (not sure on percentages). Chris,
