If you live outside of the US, you are almost guaranteed to get rejected from the US program.

However, the UK ebay program is much more lenient. I got approved to the UK ebay program with an address in South America, but I had to use a US one to get into the US program before and I suspect nothing has changed since then.

For our BHW member in China, I believe there are eBay sites directed to asia, at least singapore.
