Kreshna mentioned this link to me and I just noticed this problem myself a few weeks ago when someone from Germany tried to buy something and asked how much shipping was. I offer worldwide shipping so was surprised to see it missing from the drop down box. I read somewhere that it's a glitch but I'm sure it's intentional. These countries not allowing imported software is BS though. Germany does have tight restrictions about violent games or anything Hitler/wolfenstein related. But they definatly do not restrict all games.
Hi Dan, it's nice to see you here. 😀
Folks, this is Danno aka the_pcgamer, one of my favorite ebay sellers. I bought quite a lot of games from him in the past, using Banker's Draft and Western Union (those MCTN stuff) because Indonesians were not allowed to join PayPal during that time. 🤣
Maybe some of you have bought games from his store too. 😀

I've been selling used PC games for a living on ebay since 2005 but it's just not paying anymore. With ebay taking about 15% now there is not much room for profit. I just moved back to TX on May 2nd and downsized because I can't pay my bills by selling on ebay anymore. I used to work about 40hrs a week now I work about 65 a week and I'm making about 30% less. Now the U.S. Is trying to pass an online sales tax. If that passes I think a large number of ebay sellers will be done. I will be for sure.
That's too bad. Despite the hardship, I hope you'll be able to open your own game web store soon, so you don't have to deal with ebay anymore.

Anyhow getting around this I'm not sure but I'm willing to try there is nothing wrong with selling to the countries listed. I think you could create a U.S. ebay account then just email the buyer beforehand and ask if they will ship overseas.
Also if you're in one of these blocked countries when you look at my store does it show any items at all or zero? http://www.ebay.com/sch/thepc_gamer/m.html?it … =p2047675.l2562
Would love to know.

I'll let you know if I find any of your games that cannot ship to Indonesia. Apparently, ebay hasn't got the chance to block every single game out there.
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
