I accidentally clicked the Aussie link at the bottom of a search and it comes up with Ebay.com.au as expected. The thing that made me smile is it actually says G'day at the top Laughing Laughing

Sorry little things make me smile Very Happy

Well, E-bay France says 'Bienvenue'. Ebay of Italy and Spain don't seem to have a greeting.

G'day, makes us antipodeans think that it is 'our' auction site!

It would be interesting to find out what greeting would be used in each, if Ebay established a UK county by county service.
