Guide to the Hotlinks (side panel)The links given here are some simple searches, by manufacturer, for availability in USA ($), Germany (€) and UK (£). These pick up items that are listed as post only to USA or Post only to Germany. Ask the seller if they will post elsewhere, many will. International listings are also picked up and Ebay will display the converted currency as well as the original currency. provides a Favourites search where queries you use can be stored. Three of these can be posted to you daily. The results are not complete, possible because of international local time. So items might be missed from those or, as is often the case, have been misfiled or incorrectly spelt. Also favourites, if not used, get automatically removed even if e-mailed to you daily. The international searches mostly focuses on photography. These still fail to find the correct item that turn up when looking at available to Germany and other Eurozone countries. US (.com) and UK (.co.uk) Ebay sites have a similar structure of categories. Germany has elected for a different structure with different category numbers. Missing spellings and listing under different categories add to the confusion. Look through "Subminiature, disc, 110" and also "Vintage, Collectable" and "Spycameras". These may be very long and the titles often far from helpful. Leave these for last as all the ones you have visited will be highlighted and so scanning the list by eye is much faster. When placing a bid you may be asked to logon to the site. If this happens go back to the previous page and select the menu option to 'open in a new window'; otherwise will have to repeat this for every bid. You only need to do this once for each site (DE, UK, US). If adding the listing to your watched items you must open the link in a separate window the first time for each site to logon; otherwise the browser's cookies are not found. Please read the Guide to Bidding on Ebay.
