You'll find often "No shipping to Switserland" in German Ebay. It has nothing to do with prejudices just with past experiences and not even with past experiences with the people themselves, simply with past experiences with the workings of the system. The most frequent limitations you'd find in German Ebay would be to exclude all non-Euro countries or only to allow them if they pay more and use paypal. That too discriminates the poor British buyers.
