Ebay International selling query

Hello all; I’m new to selling on ebay and thankfully it’s all going well so far. I have so far been selling to the UK only but this morning I got a couple of messages from buyers in France and Germany, asking if I would be willing to ship my items over to them. Both buyers have excellent feedback scores so I’m not hesitant at all in dealing with them, but I’m just wondering how to amend my postage options? The items they’re interested in have both got a few bids already so when I went to edit the page from ‘UK only’ to ‘European Union’ I can’t do it. Is there a way around this?
Hopefully this explanation makes sense!

    You will be able to amend the invoice to include airmail after the auction ends. I would send a quick reply to ask them to wait for an invoice before paying if they win. Airmail small packets to Europe are just over double the UK first class price.

    If OP has overseas bidders blocked then they can't bid. You either need to try revising your item to add an extra postage option, or if that doesn't work add the buyers to your 'allowed bidders' list.
