There are tricks I've discovered that allow one to see items that don't ship to their country in ebay searches. One parameter that ebay fortunately currently does NOT check with respect to location restrictions, is your IP address. So, besides setting the "worldwide" radio button, other ways ebay knows where you are include your account settings, and the exact ebay site you're using. The ways around those are: 1) sign out! and 2) use the TLD of the location you want to check, if known. For example, ebay.de (Germany) or ebay.co.uk (United Kingdom). Beware that in some countries the category tree will be radically different from what you're familiar with. For example, the structure of some of the technical categories at ebay.nl (Netherlands/Holland) is greatly simplified compared to those on ebay.com -- in my experience, not a good thing.
Once you've found an item using these methods, it's usually still possible to contact the seller to find out if he'll make an exception for you. In case of an absolute "must have" item an an unwavering seller, there are also services available by which you can pay a small fee to have an item delivered to an "acceptable" address for the seller, then re-shipped to you anywhere in the world.
