one for you experienced ebayers,... How the F*** Do you stop Johnny foreigners from Buying your stuff, I told a bloke from Australia that I wouldn't ship there and he still went and bought 3 items,... bid silly money as well... its just a pain as one is a tank so quite large ... not Z stuff don't worry. ???

Email the bloke tell him you are not sending it , then second chance offer the items , you can also remove thier bids , postage is a pain , got quoted by the post office for a tank to italy once , when i took it to the post office the postage rate had almost doubled.

put a really high postage price on items posted abroad, i:e £20 for postage of a bulb.

No idea how to prevent them bidding. I sold a zx636 to a Lithuanian who couldn't speak a word of English so explain how he read the ad. I clearly put No Overseas Bids in the ad too. Still, he sent 3 cousins over to pick it up on what looked like a home-made trailer. Mad bastards.

Thanks for that GB, I got him to cancel bid, and will put it on when I get back from holiday...I didn't get uk postage right either it's over610mm long.... It's a learning curve ... that site will be helpful in the future... I did 16 items last week and have 19 on this week... If that's the only thing that goes wrong I will be amazed....cheers mate
