HELP with info on International bidders!!

miu2 · Apr 29th, 2008, 12:13 PM

Hello all! Here's the situation, I have stopped offering my bags to International bidders because I have a FedEx account and use them for all of my shipping. Because the rates are considerably higher for International shipping, the buyers from other countries get upset over the costs they incur. So, I've simply stopped offering my bags to persons who don't live in the USA.

Anyway, a very nice tPFer has asked me to allow her to bid on my bag. I have a block on any persons who do not live in the countries I ship to. Is it possible to allow one person (from a country I don't ship to) to bid without opening it up to all international bidders?

No, you can't accept any bids from other countries if you have specified US only

You could unblock it and let her bid then block it again. I think that would work.

I think it should work. I forgot to block mine and got foreign bidder. I then blocked but his bid is still there...

Clicky!
Here's the link where you can input names of buyers who are exempt from your rules. You don't have to block and unblock, cos bids can come through and it's a nuisance. Just add her name to the exemption list.
