Ebay Log in

Hi all,
I have just tried to join Ebay as a member, but when i type in my Hong Kong address it bounces me to Ebayhk which is only available in chinese!!!
Any suggestions as to how i can register? even the Australian site wants address.

Thx Gweilo

Footnote:
I mailed Ebay help, got the funniest reply. They said i could register at any English site using a made up address, although they don't recommend this as my address information would be false and it would probably affect my rating. NO USE WHATSOEVER. LOL.

weird just tried and it does the same.
I registered more than a year ago on another country's ebay with a hk adress and didn't have that problem. I guess they realised it worked well, made sense for the users and was logical, so they decided to change it to something very annoying and pointless to keep their help staff busy sending stupid and useless replies

Any chance of registering on one of the OS ebay sites with an address in that country and after registration is complete change the address to your HK address?

Not to mention any purchases you make being delivered to this false address. Amazing the number of sellers who don't read the special instructions you send them when buying.

It's possible to add an address to PayPal...I definitely see how this could work. I have both a US and a UK E-Bay account and I use both to receive goods here in HK. Never had a problem

JayinHongKong,

That sounds interesting. How do you make sure the goods are sent to you in HK? Do you give your HK address in the special instructions after you bid?

It would be v helpful if you could pass on what you do for the rest of us who have overseas ebay accounts. I haven't ventured into shipping to HK yet on ebay.

Also, should I change my paypal address to my HK address, or can I add an additonal address onto paypal?

I've not been comfortable experimenting in case I inadvertently lose everything (no HK address, no original address).

Thanks!
