Question for experienced sellers
Comments

The only time I would disagree with you Crowqueen is for items over £46, as this was.
I don't offer items over £46 outside Europe as I don't use tracking but always tend to want 'insurance' against loss on my higher end items. I know I am in a minority, and many people use couriers worldwide, but the OP is a new seller and may want to get used to lower end items first before tackling worldwide couriers. Obviously I might be wrong and OP will be happy to sort all that out.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Many people don't read descriptions. The only way to stop overseas people bidding is to block all the countries you don't want to send to - this is done in your ebay settings and can be applied to all listings.
That's handy - but at the moment I have to select all the "exclude postage locations", is there a way to pre-set them so they are applied in every listing?0 -
I was going by what RFW said on this, Soo.
At the moment if someone paid me for something, I'd hand deliver to Vladivostok, I would be grateful for the sale. Doing fine on Amazon but eBay is totally dead

I'm the opposite, I haven't had an amazon sale for weeks yet eBay is doing very well. I even had a sale on (hold your hats) On Ebid this week!
Have been hoarding stuff ready for the long winter weeks and managed to get filmed at a auction where there were celebrity sellers for the 2012 Children in Need antiques road trip. Have piles of stuff now but am listing like crazy while the buyers are out there, I'll slow down if they disappear again.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
