I don't get it, I get this message almost everytime... "Unfortunately, access to this particular item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in some countries.

Regrettably, in some cases, we may prevent users from accessing items that are not within the scope of said restrictions because of limitations of existing technology.

If you see it, I also should... >:(

Do you have anyone in the States who can help you out?  Buy it, have it shipped to your friend in the States, and them have him mail it to you?

Here is your fix, the issue is Firefox and too many languages installed on the browser...

This is because eBay stupidly assumes that if your browser claims you might speak German (or French, I believe), you must be in a country where viewing such items is illegal.

Specifically, the work-around is to remove any languages that you don't speak from the list of languages in the "Language" tab of the International pane of the System Preferences.



If you do speak German or French or whatever the blocked language du jour is, you'll have to remove it, too, to make the eBay nonsense work, but for most Camino users, simply removing other languages is sufficient.

You must be joking... right? If true, that is the most stupid thing eBay ever done (this and high fees, buying Paypal and getting fees from eBay AND Paypal on the same transaction... including on shipping, etc.)

The issue is Ebay not liking Firefox when it has multiple languages installed on it.  More Reasons the IE9 is the BEST BROWER!
