I have listed a large number of items on my ebay USA store that are very much suited to the ebay buyers in Australia. When I visit ebay Australia, though, none of my items show up in search. Items from other sellers in Canada, USA and UK that are similar do come up there. How can I fix this?

Did you pay for worldwide visibility on the different countries sites?

I have never paid for worldwide visibility but I still get sales from Australia and other countries just fine. Maybe they are huniting me out on ebay.com.
I thought as long as you offer shipping to those countries then your listing shows up under the line of from "international sellers"
I had searched for my items a couple of times and they did show that way.

I would avoid the ' Internationals visibility, ' thing, it's just added cost, little benefit. You find that most people that will buy on ebay are looking at the US site on ' .com ' and not the ebay specific to their own country. Being that we're in practically the same business line, you have probably noticed that the ebay.com.au selections are pretty limited. While ebay here (Thailand) is nonexistent, sellers here will register to sell on the ' .com ' site instead of the region varieties because of the exposure.

No I did not. It should automatically come up as a listing under international sellers. It has been corrected now.

That's correct thanks. Australian members told me there are problems with that site but it is working properly now.

Glad you got it worked out.
I only asked because at times we see USA sellers come up under 'international', so who knows what happens to your visibility.

I'm glad that it has worked out for you but just so you know, there is no guarantee that your item will be seen on other sites even if you do have shipping set up for those countries. It will show up if there are not a lot of 'local' results when those search terms are entered but often if the search brings up a large number of results from sellers who specifically listed on that site, there will not be an international sellers section showing at all. The exception is the Canadian site. Your listings will always show there as long as you have shipping set up for Canada.
The international visibility fee only covers the UK, not any other listing site. When that is used your listing will be shown in the same section as the UK sellers listings rather than under international sellers. I don't think that it is usually worth the extra money it costs but that's just my opinion.

I experienced the same when offering my bike for sale. I went to different ebay sites like ebay.de, ebay.fr and ebay.uk and switched the search ("BMW R1200C") to worldwide but only the R1200Cs in those countries showed up, I believe it is nonsense to make people believe that they would actually search "worldwide" if exactly what they are looking for is listed on ebay.com and won't show up in their search.
