OK in case anyone is interested, here is how it is done -
To block buyers in states, territories, or countries you don't want to ship to:
>Go to My eBay.
>Click the Account tab, and then click the Site Preferences link on the left.
>In the Selling Preferences section, scroll to Shipping preferences, and then click the Show link.
>Next to Exclude shipping locations from your listings, click the Edit link.
>Select the states, territories, or regions you don't want to ship to. You can exclude entire continents or select Show all countries, and then select the specific countries you don't want to ship to.
>All excluded countries you selected will appear on the lower section of the page.
>Select the Apply to all current live listings check box to apply these exclusions to all your current listings.
>Click the Apply button to save your requirements.
>The requirements you select will be applied to your current and future listings and can be disabled at any time.
With all the turmoil in the Middle East, and most of Africa, I decided to block buyers from these two regions.
