Just a quick tip that I discovered yesterday: many supplements and health foods listed on Ebay US et al. are not available for display to EU IPs (at least for my country), so you can't apparently buy them.

However, if you use the TOR browser which basically "hides" your IP, you can view those supplements, log on to your ebay account, and if you add the item to your watch list (you can't buy directly in TOR it seems), you can then switch to another browser with your regular home country IP, and then acquire the watched item (through paypal usually)...

Wouldn't using HotSpot Shield be easier then?

I also tried using a (paid) VPN service (Cyberghost) with a US IP address, but it gave me the "Unfortunately, access to this particular item has been blocked..." message when I accessed some supplement shops base in the US. Weird...
TOR is very easy to use, it's just like a normal browser.

Who in their right mind would buy supplements...any comestibles....from eBay...? I use eBay for hardware and electronics....

There are companies in the USA who ship internationally and who are highly responsible....

I'm in Canada and buy my Nootropics and supplements from New Star Nootropics and Pure Bulk....

I also buy from Swanson without issues...

I haven't had any issues (yet) with Customs or Duties...

Check out the Reddit reviews on these companies and also see what is being said about eBay's supplements....

Remember....it's your brain and your health...one bad eBay seller can ruin your day....

I apologize for the "right mind" comment...it was aggressive and offensive...(even if well ment)

There's a simpler way to look at all the supplements, just go to ebay.com and not the ebay of your country.
Make sure to configure your browser to choose the US version of websites and then you're ready to go.
I can see them all and I don't need to use VPNs or tor.
