    Of course you are right. I was referring to speedpost. I think it was called EMS years back and I still have that in my head.

    EMS is the name used for Express Mail Service in most countries in the world. IMO Speedpost is a type of EMS.

    Maybe on the HK Chinese website - but not sure about the HK English one yet. Anyone already managed to do it on the English version?

    It says it's in beta, and I don't see a place to log in without registering on the HK site. (If one clicks the button to register, it probably sniffs one's cookie from the Canadian site, coz without even doing anything there's a message in the right margin that one's userID and password are already taken).

    You can't sell from any of the HK sites internationally at all. You can log in though. Go to the English HK website, click on "my ebay" and you get the log on.
    If you want to sell internationally you would have to change your location on your Canadian account and sell from there.
    Ebay has all different charges in different countries. For example in Germany an ebay store/shop is 9.95 Euros monthly and sold items are charged at 10%, in Holland it is 1.95 monthly and charges for sold items are 8%.
    Items listed in a dutch shop are only shown for people loggeg in to the dutch website, but your shop symbol appears on all you listings so that customers can still click it and get to the shop from anywhere.
