I totally agree and it’s pretty F****** dumb of Ebay. I mean, its a FORTUNE 100 COMPANY…WTF. English please…i don’t care if you’re Chinese, Black, Eskimo(Inuit)!…there should always be ENGLISH..and it has nothing to do with ETHNICITY!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s an option guys….try finding your items at AMAZON.com

Yeah, it’s crazy, I have tried to use ebay here in Hong Kong several times!
it’s a nightmare…no english what so ever, not even english instruction on how to get a translation programme running. There is not really alot of places where you can buy quality used goods in this city, it’s a shame, that the hundreds of thousands of us English speakers here cannot buy and sell on ebay.hk.

Come on guys and sort it out!

As soon as I couldnt find the english option I took to google to see if I was the only one annoy by the stupidity. But in any case, I opened an account via ebay.co.uk and it works on the HK site. So I guess just register using an enlgish speaking one e.g. us or uk first and just try to muddle your way through? You can click to “Watch” an item fro the HK site and then move to the UK/US site to continue the transactions…
Personally not had major problems with paypal..

I know…. these programmer who designed these global networking website, and assigned only one language per site is soooo stupid. There are so many of us who is living in Hong Kong and can understand 3 or more languages except CHINESE. So, what are we supposed to do?

What do you expect from a company whose US site still provides an English “translation” on every item page which is priced in UKP or AU$? They have noticed that Canadians speak English, at least.

And they probably want your zipcode too. I think some of these programmers think the US is the only country in the world.

Yeah, it’s more Internet rock suckage. I tried to enter a transaction via Paypal which I abhore. I don’t have an account with those thieves but that, theorhetically, wasn’t a problem since there was a “non-members” method. Which worked until I selected “Germany” as the country. Thing switches to Deitch, takes my info and then proceeds to tell me that I’ll have to open a Paypal account to complete the transaction and after doing so will have to start over. Uh, no I won’t.
