Do eBay give sellers the option of picking countries they will sell to? Like can you list an item as "will sell to U.S, Canada, U.K and EU only?"
Yes.
And you can block any bidder you want to as well.

I had thought Apple products were covered by Apple for their one year limited warranty no matter where they were purchased.. but then RKpro's comment confused me and I thought I had better check and make sure.
I also thought one could purchase an extended AppleCare plan, no matter where their Apple product was purchased.
When you say 'as long as from an authorized reseller', what happens when someone buys from a private seller? Or do you mean the 'original buyer' must have purchased from an authorized reseller?
What happens in a case where say someone stole a truckload (or even just one or two) of Apple products and sold them to various sources.. and those sources ended up trying to sell them on eBay or Craigslist?
I'm assuming Apple would deny any warranty coverage or opportunity to purchase extended AppleCare on those stolen items, if reported?
So if a person like me buys from a seller on eBay or Craigslist, how would one know if their product can be covered under Apple's warranty, even if it's 'NIB'?
Sellers want to protect themselves as well, and not give out the S/N before they get the money... and buyers don't want to risk shelling out the money before they know the S/N is not on a 'stolen list' somewhere. Sellers start getting paranoid when a potential buyer asks for a receipt and a S/N, and buyers get suspicious if the seller doesn't want to give out the S/N.
It just seems there are SO many scammers out there on both sides now, and when an item is commanding several hundred dollars, I'm thinking it's not worth the risk. It's too bad the scammers ruin it for people who just want to do normal transactions.

Yes they do and it is quite detailed.
My problem in dealing with other countries is customs, even if they dont charge the buyer tax they can delay your package for a couple weeks. No seller wants to deal with that when it will sell inside the us for the same money. Any seller that has dealt with some international situations quickly realizes it isn't worth it.
I just sold a $15 Bluetooth USB stick On eBay to Brazil that took five weeks, even with customs properly declared etc. Seller was hassling me on where it was etc, who would want to deal with a $750 iPad in the same circumstances?

My comment was made after a 6 hour drive home so maybe it was a little grammatically fragmented. However, I reckon that even the occasional bonobo who looks in on MR would have found my comment easy to interpret and enlightening. (BTW, hi bonobos, good to see you here again)."At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." (Billy Madison)
