I just received an email from someone with an @gmail.com email address but they
don't live in Mountain View, California. Surely this is not allowed.

Could simply be a shipping forwarding address that their account is based on.
Quite common and nothing I’d be worried about

The member was probably attracted by your store's name.

I have just had the same thing. It was sent to a freight forwarder.

I'm in two minds about how happy I am with this, I hate turning people away,
but I'm not ethically entirely happy with trading with Russia.

Not necessarily. Most Russians are European.

Arkansas is a bit far from Europe.

Even from Illinois, Arkansas feels distant.
