Hello, we have some Footwear in a warehouse in Prague, Czech Republic and we want to sell them on eBay. Our primary target is to sell them in European countries because of the easier shipments, transport, etc. Our account is registered originally in eBay.co.uk, but since the Brexit, and the fact that our goods are in the Czech Republic, selling them in the UK locally isn't an option too. So my question is, in your opinion, what is the best approach for us in order to sell our products in the EU with minimal shipping costs.

Assuming you ONLY want to ship to the EU, you can't list them on the .com website since you cannot block the USA. On ebay.com, USA is domestic shipping, and you cannot block domestic shipping.
If you want to sell to the USA on the .com website, you can block countries you don't want to ship to. You can go in and block the UK and any other countries you don't want to sell to in your shipping exclusion settings.
If you don't want to do that, and only want to sell to the EU, you can try Ebay Germany https://www.ebay.de Ebay France https://www.ebay.fr/ Ebay Italy https://www.ebay.it/ or Ebay Spain https://www.ebay.es/
Apologies if I have misunderstood your question.

Thank you southern*sweet*tea for the answer.
So just to clarify if I understand right...
Yes, because we are based in the EU; our stock is based in the EU, and we want to sell and ship within the EU only (for the time being), - that excludes the UK after the Brexit, because of customs fees and still the uncertainty of the regulations between UE and UK...So in order to do that, we have to use listings ONLY in eBay.de, eBay.fr, eBay.it or ebay.es ...right? Because of the Domestic shipping policy and the impossibility of avoiding it?
Did I understand you correctly?

Correct.
On .com you would have to ship to the USA. On .co.uk you would have to ship to the UK.
To avoid that you would have to list on one of the EU sites.
