I love eBay, love shopping on it, love random night time browsing on it thinking “yeah… gotta get me one of those”. Their facilities are good, the service is trusted worldwide and normally things are easy to find out if you’re stuck!

So why, if I try to contact a seller in the US, through a listing on eBay.ie, am I presented with drop down menus in German?

Everything else up to that point was in English – the item listing, all menu options, help text etc., so whats the deal with German drop down menus, eh eBay?

Update: this is happening on more that one listing, both listings located in the US from different sellers.
