Since Ebay stuck the "Ship to USA only" statement way way down at the end of the listing, and since people can bid now without even looking at what I have to say in my TOS, I want to put "I will only ship within the USA" in the location space at top portion of listing.
I will still show my city under that where the regional listing info goes so will that cause any problems with Ebay? Anyone know how picky they are about what we put there?

You can put the words to "Louie,Louie" in there is ye pleases -- ya just can't put HTML in there anymore!

In the spot at the top left corner of the page where the small picture goes, you have the option of using other images such as logos. I've noticed several that have the statement " Please read the entire description before bidding" You might want to try putting something in there stating that you ship to the U.S. only, or that you charge $25.00 handling on international shipments.
The light at the end of the tunnel will turn out to be an oncoming train.

At least a year ago, in the location spot on the auction page, I put "Beautiful Idyllwild, California--I take PayPal." It's been there ever since, and not a peep from the ebay tsarina.

Thanks!
I think I'll pass on those words to Louie Louie tomwii.
I'm going to give the no shipping outside USA a shot. I use the small picture but will change to that if this doesn't work. I bet that would be one way to get their attention. Especially the $25 idea.
Edited to add: I just didn't want to have to deal with the nightmare of revising thousands of ads if this happened to offend the powers at Ebay.

Lindajean. Check out this auction and see what this seller has done. Evidently they have been having problems with international buyers also. When you edit your pictures at the top of the page just insert the words you want.

Libra: I just found your answer but I think they revised their ad.

No it is still there. Go down to the description where the big picture is and above that picture is written will ship to USA only. If you can't put it where they have it insert it into your photo when you do the editing. If I had a picture I could show you but I don't have any I can do it on.

Thanks. I was looking for it in the top picture and not the actual auction one. If it had been a snake it woulda bit me (as my grandma used to say)
