On the advice of everyone here about not sending my close contact saddle internationally, I made my auction UK only. However, everyone single person who has bid, is international!!!!
I had one lady bid from the Czech Republic and another from New Zealand. I wrote to the CR lady and told her that although I didn't mind her bidding, to please note that shipping would be £93.00, now the NZ lady has outbid her and to send the saddle by Parcelforce, is going to be £150!! The NZ lady is a newbie with low feedback but I wrote to her anyways just letting her know what shipping would be so that she had a chance to cancel her bid before the end.
Whenever I've had UK only auctions before, international bidders haven't been able to bid (I know this for a fact as I used to get emails asking if I would make an exception for them as Ebay was blocking their bid) but this time around, it's a free for all!!
Anyone else run into this lately?
