Communicating With Buyers

Currencies
There are two key features that help international buyers convert the price of your item to the currencies they understand:

• Bids and prices on the View Item page automatically appear in both the currency you specify and the approximate home currency equivalent for the site from which the buyer is viewing the item.
• A buyer can convert all Search and Listings prices to local site currency by clicking the "Show all prices in local currency" (for example, Pounds Sterling on the U.K. site) link in the "Show" box on the Search and Listings pages of all non-U.S. eBay sites.

Language translation
If you do not speak the same language as the potential buyer, you may want to use translation software to translate key phrases. Some translation services are available free on the Internet. Many are not 100% accurate, however, and eBay cannot guarantee their services. If you use such a service, provide simple, grammatically correct phrases free of abbreviations to maximize the chance of an understandable translation.
