Can You Curtail Sales From a Single Country?
I know there is a way to curtail sales to all foreign countries but is there a way to curtail sales to a single country. Just lately my last 2 shipments to India (different addresses) never reached their destinations and I was forced to issue refunds after 6 weeks or so. Thank you.

It's a little complicated here, because you have to set up shipping rates for the countries you do want to ship to, as oppose to just excluding countries you don't want to ship to. So most either just ship "Domestically" or ship "Everywhere Else". It's that one that is the tricky one. Instead of "Everywhere else" you have to set up shipping for the countries you will ship to, and a rate one-by-one.
The second option (and this is what we switched to) is just watch where the shipping addresses are, and if we get a buyer from a country we can't/won't deal with, we just cancel the order. It's a little more complicated, and runs the risk of annoying people, but if it's a high-value, high-risk item, we'd rather take that option.
If you go the other route of refunding the customer because you won't ship it it will take you longer in the long run to deal with the emails and handling the refunds than taking the 15 - 20 minutes to set it up right in the first place.
.No you don't have to update them one by one. That's one of the things the bulk edit is for. If you want to change the shipping on all your listings in bulk after you have the rest set up, Go under members area, click listings, than on that page click the box that says all on the left hand side. Go down to the bottom of the page, click bulk edit, then go down to shipping and then click on the link for postage. Make the changes you need to there first. After your done with that click on the orange box that says update.
Especially for things like this. If you have lots of shipping options, this field is rather complicated.
weeks. Shipping to some countries, one should refrain from using attractives stamps. No explanation needed.

One other thing that has not mentioned on this. If you do as Scott does and issue a refund, Paypal will not refund you the fees you paid to them. They stopped refunding the fees some time last year if I remember correctly.
