Yes, that's because if you link through the italian ebay you automatically enter in the italian (that shows only the ones of worldwide sellers who sets as available international shipping to Italy ) one, but being a listing in the USA.
Most sellers from the USA, especially privates and non business run, don't initially set up a listing available for international, both because they never did it and often because to certain countries shipping is really a pain in the ass and gives lots of problems..
That's why when I look for something I both log in in the italian ebay and american ebay...
By logging up to the US ebay I'm able to see listings meant for USA only that has of course 10 times more selection (often with way lower costs than international ones) and so I'm able to write to sellers asking if they would ship to me in Italy.
It happens very often, almost always, that both seeing my high rating of international feedbacks ( that are almost all international transactions especially from the USA) and seeing that there is not that much of language barrier and all the problems related to a "foreigner" they happily agree to ship international just and only to me....even in the future.
Anyway, so looks like we see the same thing about the Tide, in the meantime I posted it here someone already bidded on so likely will bring this too high for my pockets right now, I'd have took the risk by seing that the seller has also listed a package of Salvo tablets (The dirt bombs as they were called by their silly commercial in the 60s), so I'd have got both and got a combined shippng...
The shipping for the single thing is too high for me now, would have had sense if he had more vintage products to get a combined one...
So I link the other listng here...I'm not going for it, maybe someone of you is interested:
