This seems to be a problem with how eBay does it's "country" blocking. 
(thanks to the french gov't)

The auction is for a complete Enigma machine.  It includes the 3 rotors 
(some have been restored) and it was a Wermacht machine.  (The 
Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe had their own "style" of Enigma as well)  The 
bidding is up to $11,238.00 and the reserve has not yet been met which 
isn't a surprise.  The machine is located in Germany.
