A third-party app which lets sellers translate item listings and descriptions on eBay for use on several of its associated national sites is being promoted by the online selling giant.

 

Two levels of service are available, the more basic offered translation by a computer programme, along with a more expensive option which uses human translators.

It costs nothing to subscribe to the service, and users only have to pay for items they have translated. Machine translations are charged by the listing, while if a 'real' translator is used, their work costs a set amount per word.

The offering of the translation service to sellers is in line with eBay's aim of convincing its sellers of the benefits of getting their items listed in various other countries, and offering options for international delivery.

This, it says, will in turn increase the amount of exposure listings are given, and make eBay more popular on an international level.
