eBay UK not Blu-ray friendly

A TechDigest writer found that eBay's UK website isn't as Blu-ray friendly as its US, Australian and Canadian versions. All eBay websites should have the next-gen format listed in its categories field, but in the United Kingdom you are forced to sell your Blu-ray movie in the 'Other Film Formats' field.

eBay UK isn't mentioning the victorious format anywhere, and neither is HD DVD. On other countries' eBay sites you clearly see a Blu-ray channel, but down in the UK it stops after 'DVD, Film & TV > DVDs'. Dead formats like MiniDisc, SACD, DAT, audio cassettes, floppy discs and VHS are considered important enough, but the high-definition format can't be found in its own box.

At TechDigest you can find the writer's short research.
