I've been selling on BrickLink since 2010, mostly 'bricks' rather
than sets, however I have started listing some expensive sets which I don't
want to sell outside of the UK due to issues with claiming for loss/damage in
transit and potential for 'new' buyers to scam me and claim back their
money via PayPal. However I would still like to sell my other items as widely
as possible.

Is it at all possible (or could it please be considered as a change to the system
if not) to set some parameters surrounding the maximum value order that a seller
is willing to process to a particular country and or buyers with a minimum level
of positive feedback ratings?

Although I have order limits that I'm happy to sell at in my T's and
C's, splash page and in some cases in the description of specific items,
I still have too many buyers ignoring them and placing orders, which I then have
to cancel, which can then cause issue relating to negative feedback.

Any ideas / comments would be welcome.

Yes, all shipping methods include the possibility to have a limit on weight,
size or value - and you can limit on Countries also.


  and or buyers with a minimum level of positive feedback ratings?

No, except negative FB rate, it's a parameter in your shop settings.
But only negative FB rate - you can't restrict to 100 and over for example.

I don't use instant checkout as it's far too complicated for the items
I sell and I assume shipping methods are to do with that. What I'm really
looking for is to be able to set a value limit for certain countries and those
with limited positive feedback, would anyone else out there find this useful.

You can.

You can't.

  would anyone else out there find this useful.

Create separate a separate shipping method for international buyers and add a
weight and/or value restriction
