International bidding.

[kilsgardet]

I want to bid on https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225961126493 but the seller did not tick the right box when entering the post.

I been in contact with seller and he want to sell to Sweden so he tried to change the post so he can accept international bidding but it was refused by ebay.

It is a rather rare item and I am willing to make a very high bid if ebay will let me.

That item already has bids,  so the seller cannot now add an international postage option to it.

Why?

Those are eBay's rules.  Once bids are placed nothing can be altered.  I know just adding an international postage charge sounds harmless,  but it does come under the umbrella of adding information which might be missed by existing bidders.

So, even though this doesn't affect current bidders,   it's still an addition / change , and cannot be done to an auction with bids.
