Bids from a country I don't ship to

I listed a 2008 collectible figurine today and received multiple bids from 5 different bidders starting 14 minutes after listing all from China. I do not ship to China. Is this anything to be concerned about? see 385246754078. Thanks for any help/information.

Possibly the buyer has a US address where they have their purchase sent to, either a family member or a freight forwarder.

I don’t see that item being a scam magnet, if they provide a US address and pay, I would ship.

If they are able to bid, it means that the buyers have shipping addresses located in the US.

No need for concern at this stage.

Thank you for such a fast response! And if no US address? Am I obligated to ship?

[nocoolnamejane]

If you have your settings properly set to block buyers with an address you don’t ship to, they will have been blocked unless they provided a Us address as @earthdreamer pointed out.

In the case you don’t have blocks in place and they don’t provide a US address, you can cancel with “Problem with buyer’s address”.

Thank you for such a fast response! I'll sit tight. This is the first time that no bids, as yet, are from the US or countries I ship to.

Thank you for such a fast response!  “Problem with buyer’s address” Great to know.

I have two buyers that have their items shipped to a place in Oregon. I panicked the first time I realized my item was being shipped to China but realized once it arrives in OR, my work is done.

Thanks again!

Thank you. I'll relax now. It just seems weird that all of the only 5 bids so far are from 5 different bidders all from China.
