[quote="mario"]Ah, just checked - already logging that. There is no doubt that the shipping was restricted. The message clearly says "You are unable to bid on or buy this item because: You are registered in a country to which the seller doesn't ship." And I found what the problem is - you can see it on your ebay myworld page, http://myworld.ebay.com/<your_username>/, you account was originally registered in France, not UK. It doesn't matter if you changed your address to UK later on - restriction is based on the country at the time of registration. It's stupid, but that's the way it is. You can contact eBay customer support, and maybe they will change that. They sure should.[/quote]
