Please link snipes to item page on ebay for my home country only.

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.

Hello Jeff,
Thanks for your note. A passionate customer experience is vital to improvement. I could have sworn this is the method we use now. I will need to check the code.
Is the eBay country listed in your Preferences the correct country? If so, I can test it against that. Please let me know, thanks.

Oh... wait. There was another customer ticket on this.
OK, you are in Canada. So, eBay has one "Canada" site, but two "versions" of Canada: EBAY-EN and EBAY-FR.
I'm guessing you're using the EN (English) site. :)
So how to resolve this programmatically? I assume the competitor lets you choose which site you want. We try to do that programmatically based on a payload that eBay provides.
Let me know your thoughts and we will correct.

I also see the .gr problem. That's weird...
We did an overhaul of the system right after you joined. This is one of the little snafu's that appeared. It's easily fixed...
And btw, if you have any other features you need, please advise, as this is a very good time to get them in. Thanks.
