Mm, nope, the auction is orginating from the UK!

I was under the impression that Iceland was owned by Denmark. When did it switch ownership?

It's Greenland that was under Denmark's jurisdiction, though I'm unsure if it still is, I'm wondering what does Iceland export?.......as that's how many Countries exist.......

Iceland used to be a colony of Denmark. It was granted home rule in 1904 and full sovereignty in 1918. Iceland became a republic in 1944

Greenland still is. Although it's had home rule and has been an autonomous province of Denmark since 1979.

Iceland's biggest export is fish, there's a surprise
Fishing provides almost 40% of export earnings and employs 8% of the work force

eBay does seem to do a lot of these joke auctions.
I wonder what they do when the winning bidder complains about non-delivery?
