Plus I have my preferences set to not accept bids from countries I don't post to, but they still manage to bid anyway.

A lot of my best customers are abroad - you're just turning down money if you block them! Particularly on low-risk items I'd consider selling abroad.

Sssssss

in general if someone goes to the time and trouble to bid from abroad it means they are serious and can't get the item in their own country, therefore you are likely to get a good price.

I asked a French seller last week whether she would post to the UK, but she declined. Her perfume sold for about half what I would have paid. I guess there is no polite way to tell her!
