Is anyone else having this problem? I have bidders blocked from 'countries to which I do not ship' yet someone managed to bid and win from the U.K.. I asked them for a U.S.A. mailing address but have not received it yet. I suppose I'll get a neg if I don't run to the Post Office and find out what shipping will be, send them the info, and then go back to the Post Office when they pay. I should not be surprised with feebay having a big promotion that something else doesn't work right.

If you have the weight for the item, you can get all available USPS shipping options from their web site. You shouldn't have to make a separate trip just to get a shipping quote.
It's funny, because I had originally also blocked all bidders out of the U.S. then a few weeks back when I created a duplicate listing from SMP, and then went to edit a few things before submitting, I noticed the listing was not blocking bidders as I had set it up to do. I had to go back into about half my listings and edit each one to do so. Funny how that happened!!!

I guess I could check it with the weight but I really don't want to sell out of the country and have been pleased that they could not even bid for so long. I checked my settings and they are fine so I have no idea how they slipped through.

If the item he bid on was a relist, it will launch as it was originally created. If you blocked out of country bidders after the auction was originally created, you have to revise the auction before listing or immediately after.

Hey, it all worked well, she has a U.S. address. Small money, 2 pound package, not breakable. I guess I really should go global sometime.
