UK Registered Ebay account

Ayone on here have a UK registered ebay account. i.e. ebay account that will allow one bid on "UK only items".
I am trying to bid on an item but the user will not post to Ireland. Is there anyway around that would allow me bid. I can have it delivered to a relative in London.

Theres a setting on the listing they have to change to allow bids from outside the uk,
Ive asked sellers in the past to change this setting and they have,

Only problem is that they cant change it once a bid( from uk member) has been placed on the item

If they wont post the item i hear parcelforce is the best to use for organising collection and delievery to you

Just put the postal address of your english friend in, no probs. I've bought gifts on ebay and sent them to Africa and Oz.

I have got UK users to change settings to allow mwe bid in the past but this guy wont play ball. Shame as the delivery address I have is only down the road from him.
Pity really as this item I really need and price is good also.

Retail is £650 and this one will go for around £150 or less.

Fussy fooker. If he is that anal retentive is it worth it? Or why is he being like that, it raises eyebrows...

Nope, engineer.
Repairing, rebuilding jetski's, jetboats and and outboard motors as a sideline for years. Now doing it full time due to recession.
