I'm having a similar issue. I just purchased an item for my family in the United Kingdom. Then shipped it to my family in the United Kingdom. All is well, I've done this before. Unfortunately now while it is being processed E-Bay and PayPal "think" I am located in the United Kingdom and I can't bid on stuff, even in my local area using E-Bay!! Seems like it only likes to have one "Principal Address" so right now that's my brother's home in United Kingdom! It's silly really, but I hope this helps. If you recently sent something overseas, this might be the problem.
