That is a great advertising ploy. tell everyone you can not see the auction
because of some restriction and everyone who reads your post will try to
look and see the auction. I will remember it.

Not quite on topic, but I just ran across an eBay listing that seems
to be censored here (QTH is Illinois USA):

"Unfortunately, access to this particular category or item has been
blocked due to legal restrictions in your home country. Based on our
discussions with concerned government agencies and eBay community
members, we have taken these steps to reduce the chance of inappropriate
items being displayed."

This is what I see under

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=46 75
What the h***?

The description makes me doubt that someone is trying to sell a nuke
warhead or a James Bond laser watch. Is eBay now ridiculously bending
over to please the homeland security folks? Can anyone anywhere access
this ad? Thanks.
