There is a work around to opt out manually, for those who do not want to sell internationally. when you list your item , go to the section where you can check the tick boxes for countries you want to exclude, and check them all except for North America (USA) and you should eliminate all but maybe Canada and Mexico (as they are North America per se.
I will gave an example as to why I do not like EIS when I select domestic only. When I do buy it now in the US, the buyer has to pay immediately. No so with EIS. I just had a $100 listing chosen by a buyer in Ireland and she never paid. eBay siad I had to wait 4 days and then file a did not pay on the platform. The night before the buyer reached out and said because was in Ireland, the shipping was too expensive and she asked me to cancel. Why does this matter? Because the listing came down and I had wait 4 days to find out the buyer wasn't buying. It was a hassle for nothing and took my listing out of the marketplace for 4 days. Also, eBay had a buyer in Nigera purchase an item of mine and the estimated arrival is months out. I will never get a feedback post from any EIS buyers. It is also not clear what happens when a buyer wants to return an item.
