Safari: eBay access may be blocked for some legally sensitive items

If eBay thinks you are located in a certain country, they may block your access to certain legally restricted items.
This is the message you see from eBay:

"Unfortunately, access to this particular category or item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in your home country. Based on our discussions with concerned government agencies and eBay community members, we have taken these steps to reduce the chance of inappropriate items being displayed. Regrettably, in some cases this policy may prevent users from accessing items that do not violate the law. At this time, we are working on less restrictive alternatives. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we hope you may find other items of interest on eBay."

If you are not in Germany, follow these steps:
  1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. From the View menu, choose International.
  3. If the Language tab is not already selected, click it.

  4. Click the Edit button.
  5. Deselect Deutsch, and click OK.
  6. Quit Safari.
  7. Reopen Safari.
