International sales blocked but international bidders are bidding???

Question

I have an item that is being bid on but the bidders look like they are all from Malaysia which seems odd to me. I have not opted in to international sales and thought I had blocked those types of sales a few years ago. If I don't cancel the item will I need to opt in to international sales to buy the postage? Anyone have experience with this? Advice would be appreciated. Thank you

You are not under any obligation to ship anywhere you didn't agree to ship. The buyer can only pay if s/he gives a shipping address in a location you've set up to ship to. If s/he does (many international buyers use forwarding services or friends or family in the US) your obligation is to deliver the item as described to that address, any forwarding from there voids the Money Back Guarantee. If s/he doesn't you can cancel for non-payment after 4 full days.

S/he was able to bid/buy because either s/he has a Primary Shipping Address in the US or you didn't set your Buyer Requirements to block those with PSAs in a location you don't ship to (the default for all Buyer Requirements is OFF).
