Does eBay show listings of sellers items to countries where the item does not, or may not, post to?

Does eBay show listings of sellers items to countries where the item does not, or may not, post to? This a very straightforward question. On many (hundreds of) occasions I have come across eBay listed items that say under the POSTAGE heading "The seller doesn't post to Australia" or "The seller may not post Australia". When I click on the sellers other items, there are always zero "0" results. It doesn't even register the item I had just been looking at before pressing the sellers other items. This happens exclusively in the cases "The seller doesn't post to Australia" and "The seller may not post Australia", but not when "The seller posts to Australia".  Has this been experienced elsewhere?

As a general rule, if you are searching on eBay AU, items from sellers who do not post to Australia will not be visible in search results ("does not post to Australia" means they have specifically excluded Aus as a postage destination, and "may not post to Australia" means they haven't excluded, or blocked, Aussie buyers, but haven't got any postage options for Australia set up either. You can generally take "may not..." the same as "does not...", as many sellers don't realise that not setting up postage options to other countries doesn't actually block them).

 

If you are searching on another site (eg eBay.com, eBay.co.uk etc), you'll see whatever is listed on that site whether they post to Aus or not, so you can look at any listing from general searches, but as you mentioned, if you go to look at a specific seller's items, it will only show what's actually available to you (based on either your primary postal address, or postcode if they ask you to confirm it).

What are you testing?

 

Whether or not other eBay members (who are just like you, at least in that they are people and are not eBay employees) have nothing else to do on a Saturday evening than to jump to attention and answer your post?
