I think you misunderstand the international provisions. (btw, they are not new to all, introduced in the UK a year ago).
It has nothing to do with where you are shipping to, or where you live. It relates to the ebay site you choose to list on.
In order for me to list on ebay.com I had to sign the agreement for the US, meaning that any sales through ebay.com were bound by the US terms rather than the UK ones.
