Do draft pages (made before setting "exclude postage locations") properly exclude postage locations?

[manyanslot]

Hi everyone.

I'm new to EBAY - am still trying to get the hang on everything on the site (and I thought using Amazon was hard - sheesh!). Anyway, I've made over 30 draft listing pages (which I have saved for later only atm), but I recently discovered something that makes me worried I might have to delete those draft listings and start them all over from the beginning.

The thing is I live in the UK and want to sell in the UK ONLY, so I discovered some time ago the "Exclude postage locations" account-settings page, but I had not got round to configuring it. I was going to do it when I finish all my draft listings, but I got a feeling to do it sooner - so now my account-settings should be setup to sell in UK domestic only. After doing that, I made a new draft listing but discovered "Excluded locations (with pull-down menu)" was now showing up on my new draft listing (which it never did for all my other draft listings). Now I'm glad the "Excluded locations (with pull-down menu)" is now showing on (all?) my future draft listings - I don't need to actually change/configure anything with it, but it's just good to know that my draft listings are for sale domestic UK locations only. HOWEVER the problem is, I looked at my other draft listings I had already made, and the "Excluded locations (with pull-down menu)" does not show.

So, what does this mean - are all my older draft listings in danger of being bought by anyone outside domestic UK, or is it just a visual glitch on the draft pages and they should be OK? Can anyone help? If I have to re-do these draft listing pages I will be really annoyed!

Also, are there any other account-settings on EBAY that display things on draft listing pages (things that don't show up on the draft listing pages when you first start using EBAY - without having made any changes to default starter seller account-settings anyway).

Hi OP,are you aware that as a new seller you will have limits imposed on the value of what you can list until you become "established" in Ebays eyes.

See :- https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/listings/selling-limits?id=4107

All the best.

If you list with UK postage you can then block "buyers whose primary delivery address is in a location I don't post to" on here:

http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BuyerBlockPreferences

Select "Apply above settings to active and future listings" at the bottom and then submit.

You can also opt out of eBay's Global Shipping here:

Yes I am aware there are limits for new sellers - that is NOT what I was talking about.

Thankyou for showing the buyer block preferences link, but that is not what I was talking about, since I haven't even sold anything yet!

Also I know about the global shipping link also - that is what I was talking about in the first place when I said "account-settings" (I don't know or particularly care for the precise wording terminology for these hundreds of confusing badly designed half working hard to find annoying settings pages throughout EBAY).
