Stock 'e' ebay search always redirects me to ebay.ca not ebay.com

I'm not sure what in the syntax forces a redirect to the ebay.ca website (i'm in canada)

http://redir.opera.com/ebay/?q=%s

That is what is part of the stock ebay search code. I'd like to keep the above syntax if it gives opera some credit/cash with my search results.

If I change it with by creating my own search from the ebay.com website, I don't have this problem.

Any suggestions? Does opera get any cash from their stock syntax recommendations?

check that it's ebay.com that's set in the search.
sign out and sign in ebay.com.

You know, in the syntax it says "ebay" not "ebay.com"

I changed it it ebay.com and it didn't work, and funny enough, I lost the favicon that was associated with it...

Looks like i'll have to delete it. No biggie I guess.

Ebay is probably redirecting you based on your ip address.
