The do not ship to list is a joke. I use it along with bold text in my item descriptions, and still get buyers from the dreaded countries. I just had someone use the buy now for an item that would be $800 to ship to his country. So if he said he did not get it I would be out the $800 plus the cost of the item.
Cheers,
Just in cae you are not aware, there is an eBay section which allows you to select various countries not to ship too which would eliminate those clowns who choose not to read as their bids will be automatically blocked. The following explanation I copied & pasted directly from eBay to help anyone with these issues. Good luck.
Exclude Ship-to Locations
Q: How do I restrict my buyers to certain countries, instead of offering my items worldwide?
A: You can now set up your own preferred exclusion list right in My eBay, or create an exclusion list for an individual listing. Then apply the exclusion list while you're listing your item through the Sell Your Item form or Turbo Lister. This option will only be visible if you choose to sell internationally.
To do this, just follow these steps:
Click My eBay at the top of any eBay page
Click on the Account tab and select "Site Preferences"
Location Buyer requirements and click on the "Show" link to the right, then click "Edit".
Check off "Buyers in countries to which I don't ship"
Scroll down and click Submit
Hang Tough,
