You type in \u201cConverse shoes UK 8\u201d directly in the search bar. The search results that are most likely to be displayed first will be the listings with Converse shoes available in this particular size, i.e. UK 8.<\/p>\n<p>However, a French buyer looking for the same shoes on French eBay would probably search for \u201cChaussures Converse 38&#8242; (&#8220;chaussures&#8221; means shoes). All UK listings that were not converted to the French 38 size 38 would then display at the bottom of the page results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to Noemie Colin, Senior Product Manager at Webinterpret specializing in ecommerce advertising, <strong>size conversion is mandatory for ensuring clarity when selling internationally<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Size conversion is an important aspect of the localization process for any ecommerce store. It\u2019s to meet the buyer&#8217;s expectations, but also to increase the visibility and searchability of products.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We also see sellers trying to convert sizes by adding country prefixes, e.g. converting &#8220;UK 8&#8221; into &#8220;FR 38&#8221;. The version with the prefix, however, will be less searchable than just &#8220;38&#8221; which is less restrictive for search filters used on eBay.<\/p>\n<p>Noemie&#8217;s recommendation for <a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/sell-luxury-fashion-on-ebay\">eBay fashion sellers<\/a> creating their own conversion charts via the Webinterpret interface would be to remove the country prefix, e.g. UK, FR. This will improve item visibility in eBay search results, organic and paid.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Other measurement conversion in international ecommerce<\/b><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Conversion of sizes is necessary in a number of ecommerce categories. Fashion is the most obvious one, but size specifications also appear on many other products, e.g.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/where-to-sell-car-parts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/en\/blog\/where-to-sell-car-parts\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710604873322000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1FXKSUryC2FCJavavPjFtv\">car parts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The reality is that all items that are differentiated by dimensions need to be double-checked for size conversion when listed abroad. Why?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Because different countries, but also manufacturers and individual sellers, can use\u00a0<strong>various systems of measurement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"q-and-a-container\">\n<div class=\"box-q-and-a\">\n<div class=\"question-box\"><b>Measurement systems and dimensions in ecommerce<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"answer-box\">\n<p>The fundamental units of measurement encompass length, mass, and capacity. Dimensions are represented by numerical values followed by units specific to each measurement system.<\/p>\n<p>The metric system operates with units such as meters, centimeters, and kilograms. The imperial system uses units such as feet, inches, and pounds.<br \/>\nThe metric and imperial systems are not interchangeable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>In trade, <strong>weights and measures are often the subject of governmental regulation<\/strong> to ensure fairness and transparency. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) is tasked with ensuring worldwide uniformity of measurements and their traceability to the International System of Units (SI).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Google Translator doesn\u2019t support dimension conversion at all. Relying on such tools for accurate measurement translation can further harm your listings\u2019 visibility.<\/p>\n<p>If buyers don\u2019t recognize the metric, they may not bother to look it up. Instead, they will choose a listing containing familiar units.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Even some of the more advanced translation solutions might still lack accuracy in case of marketplace-specific restrictions. For example, some types of products on eBay, like TV or computer screens, would be required to keep the size in inches for all sites. Only an ecommerce-dedicated translation tool will take measurement nuances into consideration by default.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-291568\" src=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/size-conversion-in-ecommerce.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"551\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/size-conversion-in-ecommerce.png 780w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/size-conversion-in-ecommerce-184x300.png 184w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/size-conversion-in-ecommerce-627x1024.png 627w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/size-conversion-in-ecommerce-768x1253.png 768w, https:\/\/webinterpret.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/size-conversion-in-ecommerce-600x979.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hassle-free size localization on eBay and other marketplaces<\/h2>\n<p>Remember that <strong>correct size conversion can increase international sales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A solid product portfolio is no longer enough to attract foreign buyers.

It is understandable that users may get confused when buying clothes or shoes on the internet \u2013 especially if they\u2019re not buying them on their domestic markets. In many cases, online shoppers are concerned that the item they\u2019re buying may not be the correct size and will not fit.

[Global eBay growth strategies: FREE Download] &nbsp; Tools for international size conversion on eBay\u00a0 Suppose you&#8217;re in the business of selling clothes online and have ventured into international markets. In that case, you need to be well-acquainted with international size conversion charts, such as eBay conversion charts. This handy tool is every online seller\u2019s passport to seamless cross-border sales. Conversion charts translate units of one system of measurement into corresponding units of another. By indicating relations between international sizes, they enable foreign online buyers to choose the correct sizes. When the proper size and measurement conversions are clearly stated in the listing, it instantly boosts buyer confidence and\u00a0reduces the risk of returns. Unfortunately, standard automated translation tools are unlikely to properly localize international sizes. Why is that? A common mistake we\u2019ve observed is the assumption that localization and translation are more or less synonymous. However, this is not the case. Flore Morin, Head of Product at Webinterpret As Flore Morin further explains: &#8220;Ecommerce translation is simply the changing of words and phrases from one language to another. It doesn\u2019t take into account the cultural differences between people of the source countries and those of the target markets. As for localization, this is an adaptation of an online store to a new language and culture, in ecommerce terms. It is not only about text translation, but also about currency and size conversion, communication, legal restrictions, local marketing and many other aspects&#8221;. Only proper ecommerce-optimized translation tools can provide seamless localization and pick up sizes from the context of your listing. Take Webinterpret\u2019s solution for marketplace merchants as an example: It translates sizes and additionally, offers customized size conversion for eBay sellers, which Google doesn\u2019t support. Size translation is configurable by individual merchants: sellers can declare whether they want to translate particular brands that have their own conversion charts, and if needed &#8211; provide their own translations. Webinterpret&#8217;s library has over 700 default manufacturers\u2019 charts and around 12,000 custom sellers\u2019 charts. This AI-driven tool is able to identify which chart to apply by checking the item\u2019s context: a component name (to detect if size conversion is applicable), brand name, category, sites and seller ID. Size conversion and product searchability In international ecommerce, size conversion also affects the searchability aspect of marketplace listings.
