Why would ebay not allow a small boat propeller be shipped internationally?

weird that ebay would not allow a boat prop to be shipped thru their global shipping

Those can be used on home made torpedo's ?

Probably because some countries do not allow those items to be imported.  Who knows if someone is making a homemade torpedo.  It is a crazy world out there.

doesn't mean you cannot relist. Just remove international shipping option on listing and I would watch out for those freight forwarder addressees that international buyers will use as a get around. 

If you ship and caught by customs, you will probably lose product and buyer will be refunded.

They have weight limits.  How much does it weigh?

Boat propellors are prohibited by both EIS and EISD, generally due to import restrictions in various countries.

eBay International Standard Delivery (EISD) is not the same as the Global Shipping Program.  The Global Shipping Program is being discontinued and being replaced with a new program Ebay International Shipping (EIS) which should not be confused with EISD....LOL.. 

These programs have restrictions as to size, category, and import/export restrictions, and protections for sellers. 

Details on the shipping program you show in your screenshot can be found here:

Hi, keep in mind that it is not eBay making the call on whether or not to ship, they are merely following the laws of the countries one is exporting to.
