Unfortunately, this item isn’t available for purchase in your location....

Mines is 'just';
"Unfortunately, this item isn’t available for purchase in your location.{e274751-1260494x}"

Its ODD as I'm only getting for PC GPU,s and on Drones (DJI), so I can't spend any money on these and have missed many }:-|
On whatever {e274751-1260494x} means, there's no look up of or what parameters this relates to, 'support' aren't / can't  / don't know / won't say what it really means or what causes it.

From my attempted purchases;
  The Sellers and myself are in the same country, there are no 'my country' exclusions from the sellers, and this is happening on multiple items,
 from multiple (same country as myself) sellers,
 both business or private sellers,
 be it buy-it-now, offer or bidding, and
 be that on 2 different PCs and the Android App,
so I suggest there's a system problem be that with some account and or item class processing?

 Despite getting a case ref and alledged escallation all I've managed to get from support after 9 days, is well you have used a VPN (only on one device..) and that use isn't ebay policy , and it may or can cause suspicious activity on your account... Advice;  sign out, dont use vpn, clear cache cookies etc and wait 24 hours... yet they can't explain really why the error, or why it is so nonsensical / missleading, or why it is only across some items and not all . Or why if its vpn, that I can bid/offer/buy other items fine, but still just not GPUs or DJI Drones!?

And of course I can't get to / be put in touch with any proper tech/codie support to explain what the error trapping/ message is really about and being triggered by, or find someone that really cares enough to progress / look into it / do a code search for the error trigger.

 

 

Well despite following the advice ... the problem is still exactly the same.

  😞


Why is customer service from corporations so difficult these days.


Support did comment that they're not getting any other reports of this error -
So If any of you are suffering this 'error' to help us get some traction from Ebay, Please may I suggest we all report the error to customer services, the more it gets reported then maybe they'll start to look into it.

 

Search of Unfortunately, this item isn't available for purchase in your location.{e253598-1260494x} 


If anyone has had the 'error' and been able to fix it what did you do (and I dont mean give up on ebay)!

TIA.

Having exactly the same problem on an FPV drone (possibly related to postage of drones, electronic equipment or items the system believes contains a battery?) - contacting support now. Very frustrating

Re: Unfortunately, this item isn’t available for purchase in your location....

I had dialogue with a helpful seller and in my case at least this is not the case, seller and bidders/buyer all in the same country, other bidders able to bid, and even win  OK, yet mine get this spuriouly worded error.  This is also happening to me for such items that are collection only so postage can't really be an issue.
Yet other items all fine, I did wonder if soem restriction may have been placed on my account but support confirmed this wasn't the case, yet can't or won't answer why I cant bid or buy-it-now on video cards or Drone items!
To date ebay's support are highly dismissive and unresponsive despite alledged escallations and case refferences,  to say the least

It would appear ebay is in in denial!  Menwhile some sellers are not getting the best prices, and the irony for ebay they're loosing out on fees from increased prices and of course reputation.
This comes to fruition : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En*bleep*tification
If part of the url gets 'beeped' out use the 4 letter word for excrement begining with 's' ending in 't' with 'hi' inbetween them. 

 

I wouldn't mind so much if I were perhaps  a scammer or dodgy ebayer but after 20+ years and with a 100% record one would perhaps expect concerns to be respected somewhat by ebay / its customer services /support.

Trust and respect ebay ?

Also getting the same issue. All from buying or bidding on GPUs. I can buy or bid on other items just fine.

In a normal (old fahioned)  world I'd suggest getting in touch with 'customer services', but ime they are not interested in this repeatable issue at all, i dont think they're gettign enough complaints for them to bother with it, but at least raise it, one day if enough complein they may actually do some customer service.

A miracle - mine has started working! Even when VPN'd !!
 4 - 5 months it was not working, so respect and  trust for ebay, well lets just say it hasn't improved a dot, quite the contrary, just desserts?.

I wonder and hope for others so afflicted by ebay things  that you also benifit from the same miracle and it goes back to how it was working, progress eh?
