    I think you can cancel the bid yourself, before the auction ends, so there is no chance of them winning. You could send them an email explaining why you have done this, as they probably haven't read your auction rules. Have a look under the 'help' section in Ebay, under the 'managing your bidders' section.

    For future reference, when you are listing an item for sale there is an option for you to let Ebay automatically block bids from people in countries that you don't post to. I've got it set up on mine as I only post to UK. I think it's under the page where it asks you to input your P&P details, but I can't remember for certain.

    If you don't want to ship onerseas then cancel this persons bid and block them from bidding further. For future reference you can set your ebay preferences to disallow bids from people who are in countries you don't ship to.
