[strebor99]

How do I make an item I have listed open for someone in the States to bid?

Put their ID on your exemption list to allow them to bid:

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

And if they win increase postage to correct amount on invoice before you send it to them.

Are you sure you want to?  Postage to the US is very expensive and if the buyer claims not as described you will have to pay for the return and fully refund so you could end up way out of pocket.

If there have been no bids for the item that this buyer is interested in then go back to the advert in question and revise the postage options section of the listing, making sure that you include an overseas postage option so that the buyer can bid on the item.  If you do that then so long as you have not blocked buyers from the United States of America from being able to bid on your items and the buyer does not have two or more Unpaid Item Strikes on her account that have been picked up during the past twelve months then she ought to be able to place a bid for the item unless she is a newly registered buyer with restrictions on the amount that she can spend per calendar month.  If the buyer is indeed a newly registered buyer with eBay-imposed limits on the maximum amount that she can spend per calendar month on purchases then if she has already hit the cut-off point that eBay have imposed on her account then she will not be able to place a bid.

Just to add that, due to Covid delays and the fact that the US Postal Service is currently in total disarray, Royal Mail are not accepting claims for 'lost' US packages until 90 days have passed.  So you may want to take this into consideration before agreeing to ship there, as buyers can open Item Not Received cases on Ebay within 30 days of the delivery estimate on the order, and you would have to refund in full within 3 days (unless tracking proved delivery, of course).
