Blinking eBay

[chip]

I just tried to bid on a Sak on eBay USA.
But every time I placed my bid I was denied along with a message saying I could not circumvent eBay UKs rules regarding knife sales.
What a git.
Is there anyway I as a resident of the UK I can buy SAKS from eBay USA .
Thanks.

Other than asking someone that side of the pond I don't think so

If you use http://www.edcsource.com/ you'll have no probs though mate, as it's very UK friendly

Thanks but edc source do not have what I am after and when they did they wanted more than twice as much for it. Although that said the fat lady has not sung yet

Have you tried pm'ing felinevet?

He's a dead helpful bloke, and might be able to help?

I have had dealings with feline vet before and a pleasure it was too but I don't think he could help.

Your account is registered in UK so that's why, if you make a new one based in US then you can bid.

Sorry then mate, I can't really help

Good luck though

For that I would have to create a new email. Address and would I be able to link my PayPal to two different eBay accounts. As I would not want to close down my existing eBay account.

Chip.try logging out of ebay.co.uk,then log in again thru ebay.com   That may work

I have tried every way, it comes down to you have to log in to place a bid and which ever way you come at it when you log in you log in to your account.

I have spoken to the seller who sent me a link which when I bid it accused me of bidding on my own item.

I've done it before and pretty sure linking paypal isn't required.

While I certainly don't think anyone should have to spend more than they need to, one has to wonder what good is something that is half the price that you can't get, versus something twice the price that you can...

It sucks that eBay has decided to pull that "No knives for naughty Europeans" BS, but that is one of the main reasons behing starting EDCSource in the first place.

There would be too much deception involved. I set up a new hotmail account using my correct details then tried to register with EBay USA. But you have to give an address to register and as soon as I tick country united kingdom it redirects me to eBay UK so I would have to lie and give a false address in the states as my home address. And lying does not sit easy with me so i will leave it.

Why not ask a usa member to bid for you?
