Why are prices different for the same listing when changing eBay sites?

[sb_goods_aus]

Hi,

I'm confused as to why, for example, on eBay.com an item is $100USD, but when switching to eBay.com.au, the item becomes say, $130USD.

Would it be cheaper for me to just buy the item on the US site and have PayPal convert the currency, or is eBay Australia for some reason factoring in taxes into the listing price and it ends up being the same cost?

Cheers

Hi su goods Aus, I just went into a momentary conversation table on the net, I converted $100.00 US to AU$ and got $153.24 Australian dollars. So if you were getting it for $130.00 au your doing well.

Maybe that was the rate they got back in 2020 when they posted

LOL Sandy - it was a ' momentary ' conversion after all.
