Ok, so I offered an item for sale with shipping only to the US. Of course, the auction ends and someone from Italy wins. I email him a nice message appologizing but saying the auction ships only in the US. I then go and tell him what the actual cost for shipping would be and I give him a link to a buy-it now auction he could use to save $50 USD dollars.

I am now waiting to see how he takes it.

Hey – if they are willing to bid on US only auctions – they pay full shipping costs – buyer beware is the rule. If you don't read the shipping or conditions – don't bid. Best of luck though!

Some might not care about the restrictions and are usually the most vocal in the feedback. Don't know why, but a bunch of UK and Europe only auctions are showing in the searches, even though I've set it to US and Worldwide ones, maybe the same issue across the Atlantic?

Ummm . . how *DO* you bid on US-only auctions? That would help me a lot on certain occasions, but admittedly, it's a costly thing to try.
