A bidder just emailed and said they have tried to bid on one of my auctions and ebay keeps saying I don't accept international bidders. The bidder lives in Seattle. Bidding is slow enough without this pain in the kester. Must be the software ebay is trying to put in place to prevent international bidders from bidding on an auction where the seller doesn't allow foreign bidders.

Did eBay make an announcement they were going to try to stop International bidding when it was not allowed in the auction?
I think I missed that one.
Sorry you are having trouble getting that bid. Hopefully eBay knows about this and will fix it soon. We do not need to lose bidders, or frustrate the customers.

I've received 4 of these emails in the last 24 hours. I emailed PSS support and they confirmed there is a known problem. I had my auctions listed as US, Canada, Europe and Australasia. All the emails were from regular customers in the U.S. This has to be affecting bids. What I have done for new listings is list them as "Ships Worldwide" and hope this helps.

all our ebay items are designated for USA only bidders ... again, some dude from China bid on one of our things at the last minute and won it. ... i got to thinkin' "can't you read English!!???!?!?!" ..
