Sniping in Germany

It carries over. eBay is eBay is eBay. You should be able to verify that by signing into eBay.de using your current ID and password.

If the auction doesn't show up on eBay.com, make sure they will ship to US and the cost before bidding. Also remember you won't be bidding in $'s.

WELCOME to the forum.

You may also notice that they don't write their listings in English and some may not speak English, no matter how loudly you speak!

Ok, thanks all...I heard or read somewhere that sniping is an American thing to do, but not really encouraged or appreciated in Europe...is this true, or BS? Am I going to be offending a bunch of Europeans (which doesn't bother me so long as I can get my STUFF;-)) if I go winning auctions with 6 seconds left to bid?
Thanks and wienerschnitzels

Well I'm in the UK which was in Europe last time I looked and I love sniping! Go for it!

If it doesn't bother you, then why ask the question?

Why ask the question? Genuine curiosity as to how sniping is perceived in Germany...me not being bothered by potentially offending someone by sniping (which was said tongue partially in cheek, in case it wasn't clear--I really don't want to offend anyone, if possible) doesn't in the least diminish my curiosity as to what sniping is like in Germany. Now I know a good place for more feedback on that issue is ebay.de community boards...aber ich muss meine Deutsch uben vor ich kann read all the gobbledegook my crappy translator spits out
later, thanks for the posts
