You can check by changing your destination country when you search to see if you are visible to people in that country. Just make sure to reset your country when finished or you can get some really odd search results when you look for stuff later.

Your listings are in the main search section for Canada and USA, for all other sites (unless you pay visibility fees) you'll be at the bottom in the items found from eBay international sellers section -- which only shows if there are not enough "local" site offers in the search results.
The buyers have to select Worldwide for Item Location to see you in the main search area.
Some examples:
eBay.co.uk (United Kingdom) has Item locations of: default / UK only / European Union / Worldwide
ebay.fr (France) needs Monde entier to be selected
...
I search tested with carded sheep wool and carded sheep wool roving in "All categories"
ebay did ask if I meant carved sheep wool -- one alternate listing for that
