I never had problems years ago. But now it seems everyone on ebay and EU auto parts places will not ship to USA. Maybe trumps policies threw a wrench in the works. I found one guy with a used part that he is willing to ship to USA ($50 ship) but he wants more than double the cost of the new items found all over ebay and the stores. ( ~200 v 100 $ ) And from his thousands of transactions this is the only one he has listed for worldwide shipping. If I log in on .com I can't even see his other listing ( except sold) when I log in .de or .it or .co.uk I see his stuff. We exchanged several emails and he refuses to be a purchasing agent for me even with real $ dangled in front of him. It is baffling. That guy appears to part out boneyard vehicles as his living, yet will not take an easy money gig paid up front. I have distant relatives in the EU and right now I am putting feelers out.
