    It depends on why the bidder is prevented from bidding/buying.  IF it was because you have your Buyer Requirements set to block buyers with primary shipping addresses in a location you don't ship to, you can add  him/her to your Buyer Requirement Exemption list; or advise him/her to set his/her primary shipping address to the one in your shipping setup s/he intends to use--this is also the solution where s/he is unable to pre-authorize automatic payment because eBay can't calculate the amount to pre-authorize; or revise the listing to set up shipping to the bidder's location--might or might not be possible if you already have a bid.

     

    Go to the Site Map (link at the bottom of this and most ebay.com pages) Sell Section (use the shortcut at the top--it's a long scroll down) and you'll find the link to those and several other useful seller tools.  The ones for the Buyer Requirements and the exemption list are on the page you get taken to by the Block Bidder/Buyer List link.

     

    On the other hand if it is because eBay suspects an import/export restriction between your country and his/hers (eBay might consider addresses other than shipping address in this including IP address) there is nothing you can do.
