dunno man, it was the first result when i clicked on YOUR ebay link. lol

Maybe sellers have the option to block their listings from certain regions based on IP addresses, rather than just the .es / .co.uk platforms. I'll find out soon enough for myself!

I’m in Majorca for a week and use VPN, so I don’t understand why you can’t access it ! When I was selling my BR steam era stuff I never came across an option to block certain regions only option was on what countries you didn’t want to post to.

But things may have changed recently.

Using @Sean's link, and removing all of the crap from the end of it, I can see the item.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175757401179

Changing the .co.uk to .es, I can still see it.

https://www.ebay.es/itm/175757401179

But it does not appear in my search results on .co.uk, .es nor .ie.

So I'm guessing that there is some sort of additional level of visibility for sellers now, where they can block regions based on IP addresses or something.

P.S.: Booooooo Mallorca, yay Canarias!

Don’t bother.

Agree. I've enough of those including damaged ones collected over the years as respray donors and in one case as a chassis donor. Last one I bought retail from Marks just before Covid cost €139 new. €300 is just too much IMHO, and €500 for the NIR blue ones or freight grey ones seems almost obscene waste. Can you believe about 7 years ago when Seamus Graham was still running the excellent model shop portlaoise I sent back a grey 7078 because he accidentally shipped me two 7078's. About to respray 085 as 7071 in freight grey (slightly damaged donor cost €110, paint will cost about €8, plus a few hours, plus some decals from SSM).

I have that issue all the time from outside of the UK I don't know if it has something to do with the different euro zones and I guess as the UK is no longer part of them, may be some one has cut the link.

I currently have eBay accounts in the UK, Europe, USA, South Africa and Australia.

Is this your ad DJ?

Yeah, it's mine, decided to sell a pack at a loss to try build a rating of some sort.

Only one bid, and the bidder is your mate, John Paul, so he'll probably re-sell them.

Just bamboozled as to why I can't see my own damn ad in the search results.

This has been on eBay for a while
Contacted the seller to see if he was open to negotiations but no reply
Dont have a boxed example so I said I would bite the bullet
Just checked his pics and I see its in an incorrect box
320 352 is a BR Southern Green Brake end
Box should be 320 395
Dang
