They gave me no valid reason at all when I emailed them to ask why.
It was almost a daily ritual for me and several friends to peruse the cars for sale. Myself and lots of friends here in NZ have bought cars off Ebay Motors without any serious issues.
I am very angry with Ebay and its attitude, treating us like dummies.

You might want to check and make sure that you weren't just phished into providing your user name and password via a fake ebaymotors alert email. If I was you, I would immediately go to the main ebay page on your own, not using any links, and reset your password. </div></div>

I didn't get an email, I was told by a buddy of mine and when I went on line to check it out I couldn't access Ebay Motors, so I sent them an email asking them to explain. I got a reply with several different lame excuses such as how expensive it is to ship a car out of the US amongst others, none of which were relevant. I have checked with several of my buddies here and nobody can look at the vehicles for sale on Ebay. Ebay are so arrogant it is unbelievable.

Believe me, I have no great love for eBay myself, but something just doesn't seem right here. eBay is a worldwide community. I hope it gets straightened out.

I have no problems browsing the eBay Motors.

Nothing blocked from this part of the world.

I noticed that as well. It must have just started because I can see some of the items from a few weeks ago still but nothing new is showing up.

This is part of the reply I received from Ebay.

Specifically, the independent service provider that offers protection for vehicle protection, or Vehicle Purchase Program (VPP) only protects transactions where the seller, buyer, and vehicle are all located in the US or Canada. Since buying a vehicle internationally would not be protected, we do not encourage our buyers to purchase in such a manner. This is why we do not allow you to see that listings, simply because we cannot promote sales that are not protected

Trying starting a new user name registered with Ebay USA. Not .AU and register your address with your usual shipping contact in the USA.

That's just wrong. But I quit using ebay myself a long time ago.

Rather stick with craigslist and online boards.
