They asked if I could ship to China and I told them that I was only shipping US but that I would look into it and make an exception. I looked into it and you can not ship US to China because of COVID shut downs there. Also this person has based out of United States in there description. I told them I can’t ship to China and if there is a US address I can ship to (maybe someone they know) as I have dealt with people who are abroad before but have me ship to a US address. I also asked them to let me know ASAP if they are not interested so I can repost it.

I expect the US address is a freight forwarder..you are not familiar with those?

'and/or to give sellers the ability to see who is bidding/watching their auctions. That way we can assess them and block them from bidding if their account appears suspicious. '
And how would looking at the account accomplish this? Since buyers can only receive positive feedback, and every member with a new account, or from Florida is not a scammer?

Has the buyer paid you yet and if so is the current shipping address in the US and what is the buyers registered country address? Lots of foreign buyers utilize freight forwarders but those would be problematic at the moment with the current logistical issues shipping to China.
If you do follow through with this sale in one form or another make sure you only ship to the address the buyer has setup on their account at the time of payment. You will of course need signature receipt if this is the 1.3K Lego set and plenty of insurance.
You are probably also going to get hit with a 1.9% international fee on this transaction in addition to the regular FVF's.

Use Fixed Price listings and opt for Immediate Payment Required. The down side to FP is you will NEVER get more than what you are asking for the item unless a scammer offers it to you.
Your listing will stay active for 30 days or until someone actually pays.

You hit the nail on the head for me. I have had these issues and don't really know what to do about it.
