Is there a way to change the Easy Buy settings to exclude countries? I am still
not wanting to wait on long international shipping times.

Thank you,

I think using Buy All Auto Select will yield similar results and you can better
control the settings.

I have done that, but then get the stores that charge 3x average price at the
top with ridiculous shipping and fees. Guess I need to start Least Favoriting
a bunch to filter them out. Plus the hassle of all the stores that have 220
matching items for a list that only has 91 items on it.

I think Auto-Select would at least choose the stores with lower prices, but I
guess won't do much about high shipping and fees

Shipping: As far as we’ve been told, the algorithm uses an estimation for shipping
(from orders with same “origin” and “destination” (countries?)).

Fees: What’s that?  Or are they included in the source for the estimation on
shipping?  Who knows….

Yes for the better control.
And yes for “similar” too: I think that, even with no filter in Auto-select,
you don’t get the exact same results as EasyBuy.

One of BrickLink mysteries….

Might be worth one’s while to make documentaries on these mysteries.  After all,
some have made their whole life on smaller things, like UFOs and pymamids….
