This is due to a really annoying, fairly new policy of eBay's that won't show listings in locations not on the seller's "ship to" address. I've corresponded with a couple of friends in the UK who have been tripped up by this inadvertently. When they use the standard seller's listing page on eBay, it defaults to UK-only shipping. Unless one catches and changes that to include the US, we don't get find the item in a normal search. And, of course, you get that "0 items" result when you *know* they are out there.

So the moral is ... if you're selling on eBay and you want aliens to view (and maybe bid on) your auctions, make sure you offer shipping to that planet!
