International postage: no. What does this exactly mean? TShirt for Russia & Received a negative.

[revocircle]

I listed a T-Shirt, with no collection offered, only Domestic (UK) Signed For postage.

I selected in the postage section: International Postage: No.

I did not select any exclusion on a geographical basis, as the T-Shirt is only dispatched by post, and International Postage is not offered, which I take it means that it overides any other consideration of international inclusion or exclusion.

The winning bid tonight is with an address in Russia. I cancelled the sale straight away via eBay before the winner could pay with Paypal with the reason of "a problem with the address". I blocked him but was slapped with a negative feedback before I could engage with him, this being my fourth sale.

My point is I can only post to a Paypal Verified Address to be elligible for protection, that address is in Russia, and International Postage is not offered.

I have not engaged with the winner since as I am seeking advice from the wisdom of the forum before I contact eBay tomorrow, to present my case if need be and have this feedback removed. So my question really is: am I on firm ground? Would I need to introduce the issue with a particular angle to sway eBay's CS?

On an additional note, the buyer has given 4 negative feedbacks to the fewer 19 sellers he's ever dealt with. Lastly, I have relisted all my posted items by adding a worlwide exclusion in addition to the "no international postage" for the avoidance for any epsilon doubt.
