I listed an item and the only postage options were for UK , I didn't list any overseas postage options , but somehow a bidder from overseas has bid on it and won .

how does that happen ?

It happens quite a lot in certain categories. My wife can't seem to list any shoes without people bidding from Eastern Europe. You have to actively block bidders from countries you don't post to as crazy as it seems. eBay seem pretty happy to let it continue, I expect t hey make more money that way.

You can go into your account settings and block bidders from countries you don't post too. Once you've done that you shouldn't have anymore problems.

yeah , I guess I just assumed that because I chose "no international postage" that people wouldn't /couldn't bid from overseas .

Unfortunately not. I had similar troubles until I found the correct settings.
Now no overseas bidders can ruin my auctions again. They do still message me asking if i'll post to their country, even though I put in the description that I will not post overseas.
