G'day Bryce, now that you mention it, I remember one time I was unable to purchase or bid on another edged weapon (again, a keris) on eBay from a seller in New South Wales; as with you, eBay would not allow me to complete the purchase. From memory, however, there was no issue of this kind with actually purchasing the US keris on eBay. I can't explain why, but I did acquire a US address through a freight forwarding service and updated my ebay account accordingly, so maybe that helped (although I used my Australian address as shipping address in that instance).
