Gary, did you try to re-list it again? Haven't they heard of free enterprise? I can understand if if was a Canadian meteorite being sold out of Canada without an export permit, but it's you Gary! THE FUJMON!!! and we still love you.
 
byw congrats on the nomination and good luck in the elections!

> I was working on inputing my lineup of offerings on ebay's scheduler, when I received the following emails from ebay stating they are removing the international site visibility feature. Here's what the message says:
>

> > However, we had to remove International Site Visibility from your listing. Of course, we won't be charging you the fee for it.
> >
> > Because the laws and eBay policies vary by country, sometimes items that can be listed in your country can't be listed internationally. It's also possible that the listing itself violated an eBay policy in another country. In situations like this, we automatically remove the International Site Visibility feature from the listing.
