Not allowing addresses and telephone numbers from other countries (this
has only bitten me when trying to order stuff from the USA - I'm in the
UK). Allowing you to enter everything in an international address, but
providing a "State" pulldown that has no "none" or "Not applicable" entry.
Or refuses to accept that one does not have a ZIP code. Or that not all
telephone numbers are NNN-NNN-NNNN.

And not allowing you to access the web site at all from overseas - Yes,
eBay.com, I'm talking about you. Anyone would think that the Internet only
existed in the USA. Grrrr.
