It's probably an ID10T issue on jewbay's side.
From comments:
Its not just solder. eBay has (had?) an international shipping program where they'd confiscate/divert anything deemed "hazardous", refund the buyers, and then have a 3rd party re-auction it to domestic-only buyers.... they'd confiscate anything with vacuum tubes under the assumption they're all full of mercury (they're not, only certain tubes- maybe less than 1% of them do).
Another one:
It's probably lead based solder that's the issue .... I buy all my solder from ebay and my Rosin to, several different types of each one, so it's NOT as if solder is just banned
