Having Problems with Ebay France ?


Recommended Posts

In August 2008 some people with UK computers experienced serious problems with viewing items on Ebay France. After contacting Ebay a fix was given that resolved the issue.

Problem.

When attempting to bid on something like a French car (I have chosen cars because they normally always fail but there are other items as well) the following message wil appear.:

her membre,

Malheureusement, l'accès à cet objet a été bloqué en raison de restrictions légales en vigueur dans certains pays. Conformément à ces restrictions, nous nous efforçons de bloquer l'affichage des objets concernés. Nous regrettons de vous informer que pour des raisons techniques, certaines annonces ne rentrant pas dans le cadre de ces restrictions peuvent ne pas être accessibles aux utilisateurs. Nous vous prions d'accepter nos excuses pour tout désagrément et nous espérons que vous trouverez d'autres objets intéressants sur eBay.

Merci.

Solution.

In your inernet browser go to Tools - Internet Options.

Click on the Languages button and ADD French as a language.

Now highlight French and use the Move UP button to place it at the top (French must be the first on the list) then click on OK to exit the Languages options and OK again to exit the Internet Options panel.

Tests have shown that this works with IE6, IE7 and Firefox browsers. The version of the operating system (Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista) does not appear to be important.

You should now be able to view the items details and place a bid.

If you can't get it to work you can PM me.

There is a thread where you can see the trials and tribulations of how we came about the fix.

Update 11/7/2010 - This works the other way round if you are having trouble accessing ebay.co.uk and the same applies to IE8.
