Double check me on this, but I think George does indeed offer to ship
internationally (worldwide).
His auction is:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1735970617
It is the other fellow who will ship to US only.

Having enjoyed the benefits of being able to buy from ebay sellers overseas,
I can certainly understand your frustration at US sellers unwilling to put
forth a smidgen of extra effort to make their items available to those not
in the US. I do not think this is the case with George. Although I have
not purchased Lego from him, I would guess that he is a good seller. All
the ebay sellers that I have dealt with that really hung out here at Lugnet
have been excellent. They know they product and have more than just an ebay
reputation to lose if all is not as advertised. For these reasons whenever
possible I prefer to buy from a Lugnet ebay seller even for a bit higher
cost than any other type of ebay seller.
