It's a joke.
Basically Ebay is warning US buyers from buying anything outside of the US.
Unhelpful.
What is the point of Country of Origin field in the listing detail in Ebay.

A number of years there was a situation where photos attached to listings got inadvertently purged. Sellers and to go in and individually fix. Similar project happened when sellers who were listing in US funds had to recreate modify listings to Canadian funds because they need to list with Calculated shipping. These were major projects. About the time when all the free promo listings got flooded on the market.
This is a similar type issue/project for sellers. They may have 10-100-1000-10000 or more listings. To update 1 by 1 is major work. Most items once listed are put in bins. To quickly locate 1 by 1 and CORRECTLY update and that is if the information is available will be a VERY time consuming project for the majority of sellers. There is no quick and easy fix. This will be a nightmare for most sellers until things stop changing on an hourly basis.
Also due to the time when specifics got modified approx 3 years ago and onward many items may have never had Coo for an assortment of reasons like it wasn't an available field, it wasn't known or it was bypassed due to a sellers consideration of relevance at the time. Jump forward to present day it's become critically relevant. Making it a mandatory field would be nightmare for any long time sellers.
