Well, it is the browser. I'm getting that message whenever I use
Safari. Other browsers, even esoteric, show a normal listing (opera
and lynx on Solaris, mozilla). Thanks to everyone who replied. I
sent a query to eBay. Hmmm, interesting...

Apparently it is not "trackable" or "traceable" enough for eBay, so they
won't allow it...

Possibly. But it's curious that my brother can access it just
fine with Safari from Germany. And a colleague to whom I showed
the page said that he'd seen that "error" several times (with
Explorer, so the browser wasn't an issue) while searching eBay
for war memorabilia. So it looks like eBay is indeed preventing
US users from viewing some content. Brave new world.

I sent a query to eBay, but I'm not holding my breath for an
accurate explanation. Again, thanks all for comments and info.

I get a normal listing for an old WWII radio transmitter/receiver here. I
live in Korea, but am a US user (attached to the military).

Yes, I know - it just ticks me off that Northern Illinois (and Mac
software) seems to have become a new component of the Axis of Evil,
according to eBay. Thanks.

Actually, this seems to be going back to Jan. 2003 at least. Search
for "hickley sinister safari" at groups.google.com
