 |
|
Anyone else have trouble with ebay because they think you're from Germany?
I go on German eBay quite a bit and I've bought stuff there and used the watch list and all, but I'm registered in the USA. Anyway, eBay's computer seems to think I'm now German and blocks me from viewing anything they consider WWII or Nazi related which, by their definition, seems to cover a wide range of things including some early VW stuff.
I get that screen that says "Due to laws in your country . . ."
I've flushed my cache, deleted my cookies, and generally done everything I can think of to hide my tracks, but I can't shake the block they've put on my account. Anyone dealt with this and have a solution?
(I'm posting this here because I suspect most of you accessory junkies go there too.) |

Perhaps you should stop using HIMMLER as your ebay user name

I had this problem years ago. It was because at the time I had my computer system's native language set to Italian for my own ease of use even though I was an American citizen living in America.
