New eBay Site for the Irish

Yesterday eBay.co.uk announced that it intends to open a new web site for people living in Ireland. The new eBay.ie site is undergoing final preparations and is expected to be officially launched in June 2005.
EBay say that thousands of Irish people are already happily trading on other eBay sites. They hope the new eBay.ie site will offer them, as well as new members, an alternative that is specifically targeted to their needs. The company claim it will make it easier for Irish buyers to find items available to them while also helping sellers who want to sell to Irish buyers.
