Hi all,
I just noticed that you have to
opt-out of the Global Shipping Program
if you don't want to ship outside your country. Perhaps this has been mentioned previously, but I didn't realize that this (Global Shipping Program) is automatically enabled in your listings unless you opt-out. Check your listings to see...

I don't really want to get into a discussion about why one would care to ship only to their own country - that is a personal choice...

Don't go through the hassle of revising all of your present listings if you want to opt-out. Go to "site preferences" and scroll down to "shipping" and choose to edit and opt-out. This will automatically change all of your listings to reflect no Global Shipping Program. It only changes, however, those listings which were not sold before you opted out.
Just thought this information might be useful for other casual sellers like me.
