Storing snipes with links to the listing on any ebay site other than the version meant for my home country is just not useful at all. Every time I click on one of the links that takes me to ebay.com/itm/ I always have to manually change the link in the address bar from .com to .ca and reload. Also, it sometimes links to urls like ebay.gr which is even less helpful, since that simply doesn't exist. There does not seem to be an ebay.gr, so it doesn't make much sense linking to it. Again, after clicking these .gr links (and getting a dns error), I have to change .gr to .ca and reload.
For me personally, there's no reason for me ever to view any listing on any version of ebay other than ebay.ca. I can't do anything useful on .com or elsewhere. Only .ca shows me what I need to see.
This is how it works on other sniping services. On perfectsniper, for instance, the links for active snipes always take me to ebay.ca regardless of the seller's country. Though, in that case, it might have something to do with the way a new snipe is added. Rather than just pasting the listing # into the add form, it takes the entire ebay.ca/itm/### link and probably stores the actual url value that I entered.
