99% of stuff is UK, 1% is 'other' European languages, so French and
Spanish accented characters fail, as does Cyrillic.

The web solved this problem a decade ago by introducing an universal
encoding.

Incorrect, Unicode and encodings for it existed long before the Web:

They call it "unicode" (surprise, surprise!)

Unicode is _not_ an encoding, it is a standard for a character set and
several encodings for it (among them, UTF-8 which is most compatible,
supported by MySQL, and probably used by Ebay as well).

Any clues as to how I can do this?

Check that the table is using a character setup which supports the
character setup that your crylic data is in?

See other post - 99% of the time is is standard ASCII (utf-8)

(US-)ASCII is _not_ UTF-8.
