So I just had an order from a new buyer from a country that I specifically chose
not to do business with because I have been a victim of theft of my custom MOC
instructions in the past. However, this buyer created a new account from USA
to side-step my store rule. There is plenty of evidence which I do not want to
reveal here on the forum that proves to me this to be true. In order to protect
my custom MOC instructions that I sell on this site, I do not want to purse with
the order and just refund the buyer and cancel the order. I specifically chose
to use BL for select MOCs to be sold here on BL because it gives me more control
over this problem, compared to Rebrickable site which has not been able to stop
MOC instruction theft. Waiting on BL customer support e-mail.

Anyone from anywhere of the world could be a theft. Don't try to be discriminating

Hey bud, long time!

I've had a similar situation happen to me (not instructions but parts). Had
a user in another country claim to be from Canada and clearly wasn't. If
they are trying to circumvent the countries you ship to, then you can cancel
it. You can also report their account and they'll have their buying privileges
revoked. If they leave negative feedback, it'll be removed.

Of course, this is just my experience. I can't imagine the policy changing
in the past 8 months but you never know!
