[DQSD-Users] search: ebay.co.uk

Hi all,

Couldn't figure out how to get the existing eBay search to switch to UK side, 
so did a conversion. It's useful primarily because it allows people in the UK 
to use the /my switch and get their myEbay page auctions in £GBP and times in 
BST/GMT by default.

Dave.
