However, there are some important factors to consider:
- Currencies
- Languages
- Time zones
Currencies
Buyers must pay you in the currency that you specify. To increase your item's appeal to international buyers, eBay also shows estimated prices in the buyer's currency. Additionally, if you offer paypal as a payment method, buyers can send you a payment in their own currency and you can easily convert it into your currency, accept it in the buyer's currency, or reject it and ask the buyer to re-send it in your currency

Languages
Many members of the global eBay Community are comfortable communicating in English, but some are not.
To minimize confusion, use simple language and avoid slang terms and abbreviations.
If you do not speak the same language as the potential buyer, you may want to use translation software to translate key phrases. Some translation services are available free on the Internet, but many are not 100% accurate and eBay cannot guarantee their services. If you use such a service, provide simple, grammatically correct phrases free of abbreviations to maximize the chance of an understandable translation.
Time zones
Email communication may take longer due to time zone differences. To help manage time zone
complexities, avoid waiting until the last minute to contact the buyer and always plan for time zone differences.
