Crikey - I am not 100% sure on whether it relates to the country of registration or where they buyer is logged into. I know I had a case opened from a buyer from Russia through the ebay buyer protection program in the US but have no idea if they were registered in the US or not as it was quite a while ago.

Now I have no idea

*looks embarrassed*

Digi dutifully explained it to me ages ago and between her and the ebay person I thought I really had it sorted....

but now???

I'll wait for Digi to elaborate, I reckon.

But the scenario I gave the CS rep was a question along the lines of ME (an australian registered user) logging into the US or UK sites to make a purchase to get the eBay buyer protection since the au site doesn't offer it.

(I still can't get my head around why it is important cos we have PayPal protection anyway - but for peeps to make a big deal of it, there must be something in it, mustn't there?)

anyways, it was then she told me - NOPE, the system recognizes you as an au registered buyer and reverts the sale back to the au site....

so I get where I was wrong in my first post, but gosh, even more confused now LOLOLOL
