How to block people from outside the UK.

Hi there.

Im selling a phone, and have just answered a question about it by a possible buyer.

However after i answered the question i saw that he was from the US.

I was wondering how you block people from outside of the UK?

Thanks.

    It may sound stupid, but if I tick that I dont ship to Europe, does that Include the Uk?

    No as you can't block the home country.

    make sure you have all your settings set properly, and for phones it never hurts to put a brief note on listing that you are aware of the 419 scam and will not ship overseas:

    Some tips here:

    Thanks.

    Iv had messages this morning from people asking how much to ship to- The US, 'Azerbaijan Republic' and France.
