Increase in overseas buyers?

[kreativebargains]

This might be just one of those things, but recently an increasing number of buyers seem to be overseas, since wednesday I have had four with more a week or so back. As an added bonus they also seem to be buying bigger ticket items, two at £70 (though one not yet paid), the others at £40 and £25.

if this is happening across the site it will be a very welcome boost, I was wondering if eBid has been advertising in some way, though if they have it is widespread as these buyers are from Belgium, Germany, Australia, The Netherlands, Ireland and India.

The downside is that I am also getting an increase in NPB's from abroad, and once again bigger money is involved. Though I will take the relisting and reclaiming FVF's on a few if it means good sales to good buyers.

Anyone else seen an increase from abroad?

Nope, in fact it seems to have gone rather quiet for me this month compared to the last three months which were quite steady. That is why I hope the app and API will be launched sooner rather than later !

Yes UK listings are going down (I won't mention the Alexa)
The USA listings are now half a million more than the UK, that has to be a good sign.

Good

I think the reason that the number of items showing available to buy on the USA site is is greater than on the UK site is because a large proportion of USA sellers do not offer international shiping.
