I listed an item for sale that I only want to post within Australia and selected that when listing, and I have 'block bidders from locations I don't post to' ticked in my preferences, but a buyer from the UK has placed a bid anyway. They're selling things themselves and postage for their items is from the UK so that's obviously where they're situated. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed to not allow buyers from other countries?

Might be a glitch. How about you cancel the bid, and block the buyer?

If you have sold less than ten items, eBay will not allow you to sell Internationally anyway. As someone else has pointed out, you need to exclude all countries you don't send to. There is an option for this when you list, just tick them all. I have noticed that you have made your feedback "private". Please be aware, that I have chosen not to buy from someone who did this in the past, as I could see no reason other than they didn't want the Negative feedbacks to show, and they had no Positives that they could display. I do not know your reason and I am not asking, just pointing out that others may turn away from buying from you (as I did with that particular seller). When I buy something, especially if it is more than a few dollars, I want reassurance by looking at the Sellers' feedback that they have had happy customers in the past.

@shoppingbag You can't sell at all with private feedback.

Their selling account is probably a different one to the one they're posting on.

I don't think I blocked all countries, because I've had previous listings where I've allowed US, UK and NZ. I didn't realise you had to block every single country even if you've selected to only post to Australia. Seems a bit silly!
You can block regions. There are about half a dozen of them.
