What usually (but not always) works for me is sending the seller a mail saying something like:

"Hi, I noticed that you are only shipping to Germany. Unfortunately I live in Belgium. As you can see in my feedback, I'm an eBayer in good standing with 100% positive feedback. I'm really interested in this item. If you'd be willing to make an exception and ship to my country anyway, please tell me how much shipping would cost. Kind regards, Username"

Most of the time they agree to sell to me. Sometimes they don't.


Yes that is what I do as well, I've seen the same on all local bays (There it no such thing as worldwide ebay) and its either just a convenience or a strategy to limit the regions.

There are 3rd party services that you can have the seller ship to in their own country, then the third party ships it to you wherever you are, just learned of this myself.

true, but you need a local ebay account, you can't bid on a item in germany if your account says otherwise and the seller only accepts bidders from germany.

It usually says that items will only be sent to Germany "Versand nach: Deutschland". I can use my eBay UK membership to sign into any eBay site I've visited so far. There was a Global eBay, but it closed down.
 
Here's an amazing find on eBay Germany. It's a Paradox SCSI controller, which is just an interface that plugs into the parallel port. I've never heard of these before. I bet someone could clone them. That would be much easier to buy than the "Hen's teeth" GVP SCSI controllers, although they're being made again now. You can use Google Chrome if you need a translation. "Versand nach: Deutschland", with the exception of the East Frisian Islands, North Frisian Islands, and Baltic Islands, which are just off the coast of Germany. Don't trust these pesky Frisian and Baltic islanders! Helgoland might be OK, though. Luckily, Sylt is connected by a narrow strip of land.
 

Yes SCSI at the rate of the amiga paralellport sounds like a speedfreak, not...
 
Have you even contacted the seller? I guess not
