<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1365474, member: 31533"]Well, blocking the bidder might work, but that takes time and effort to do each time someone contacts you with a random question. And generally putting up the country blocks is sufficient, but not always. I had a figurine that I listed with only shipping to US, Canada, Great Britain, and Western Europe. No African or Asian countries, because I knew the figurine could possibly get a real good price and I didn't want to risk sending to a country I though might have issues with. I got several bids, and the winner then sent me a note saying to ship it to him in Thailand. I said no, that the item specifically said it wasn't up for bidding in all countries, and how did he get around the block? He said he regularly was able to see and bid on items no matter, because he registered himself as being in Great Britain when he signed up. </p><p><br /></p><p>I turned around and cancelled his bid, and did a second chance offer, which was accepted.
