    Dear eBay International Idiot

    Dear eBay International Idiot,

    I would like to thank you first of all for bidding and winning several items from me tonight. While I appreciate selling stuff and all you clearly did not read the description in my auction that says AND I QUOTE...

    USA BIDDERS ONLY!

    So now because of your lack of reading skills alongside with your constant insistence that I should "ship it now" and you threatening to give me an negative feedback if I were to revoke you winning the auction... I have to send you the product despite that it clearly said in the description and you fully even admitted that it was there yet you bidded anyways.... AND I QUOTE....

    USA BIDDERS ONLY!

    So congrats International Idiot. Congrats on showing complete disrespect towards me. Congrats on giving me an headache. Congrats on putting me in a hard place just because you refuse to understand... AND I QUOTE....

    USA BIDDERS ONLY!

    Oh and don't get all angry with me because I tell you to ship these items is going to cost $10 instead of the $3 that I advertised for shipping. You see it costs EXTRA to ship internationally. Not to mention that $3 for shipping is for people bidding in the USA because it clearly does say in the auction description... AND I QUOTE....

    USA BIDDERS ONLY!

    Also I would like to note that I don't care if you buy stuff from Amazon.com. Last time I checked I am not Amazon.com. Yeah they will ship stuff to you because they are a big company that can deal with stuff such as international shipping, custom fees, products breaking while in shipment, etc. I can't. But again... this all comes down to one simple thing in the auction description that you just didn't care to understand full.... AND I QUOTE....

    USA BIDDERS ONLY!

    So enjoy your products. Thanks for the business and thanks for giving me an royal headache dealing with you.

    Signed,

    Demolition Man

    PS - I have now figured out how to block international bidders. So good luck bidding on any future auctions of mine.

    You weren't quite clear in your post. Can I bid on your auctions when I'm over here in Ireland?

      i fully admit to bidding on some USA only stuff. but i'll usually PM the seller before to make sure its ok (if time allows) and gladly pay the extra shipping needed.
      i mean, if you know you are gonna end up inconveniencing someone for your shinythings, make sure it's as small an inconvenience as possible.

        I was going to suggest setting your buyer requirements to block international bidders, but you figured that out yourself.

        You also could've removed the international bidder's bids had you noticed them, unless he/she slipped in under the wire.

          Yeah he slipped in on both items in the last seconds. I don't mind so much if the customer works out arrangements with me. I just did that with someone who didn't mind paying extra for international shipping.

          In regards to International Idiot he finally has agreed to paying the $10 for shipping. I think he finally realized he should be lucky I'm even giving him that option at this point.

            Maybe... as long as you agree to get your stuff shipped to an adress inside the US

                Generally around here, "Up the Irish" is sort of an unofficial National anthem (especially during international sports games) which, as part of the ritual, requires all involved to raise a pint of Guinness and then down half of it in one swallow.

                  I confess, I've sent messages to some ebay sellers asking if they would be willing to ship internationally, stating that I'm aware international shipping will cost more, and don't mind paying it.

                  I hate it when I hear about international buyers who freak out over increased shipping fees and customs duties (especially the latter, as there's nothing the seller can do about those). Because crap like that just makes more sellers not want to deal with bidders outside the US, and as a Canadian, it just screws things up for me.

                          So why couldn't you get his negative feedback removed if your terms were clearly marked? It's been a while since I sold on ebay, so I'm curious...
