Despite saying the i woud only despatch touk addresses in the advert, someone in France bought my last item
Just ask them which UK port they would like it sending to
Ask them when they are coming to pick it up, and then put a non-payment strike against them and claim back costs. A total PITA, but since 95% of eBay users seem to be mentally retarded, unfortunately you have to expect this kind of behaviour.
Many people, as I've discovered in my business, are not that literate.
You can ban none-UK bidders from bidding on your auctions somewhere in the options when you list your items.

I always get that when i sell stuff. Really winds me up
Its not what it used to be 
I havnt sold anything in months on ebay.
I had the same problem recently, selling a rover v8 gearbox. Despite plastering the page with COLLECTION ONLY in huge letters, some guy in Norway bought it, payed through paypal immediately and then asked me how I was going to get it to HIM!!!
Unfortunately ebay insist it is YOUR fault for allowing those non uk bidders to buy stuff if you have not set your preferences correctly.
So, go to help and type in
Selecting Buyer Requirements
and these results will run through where the menus and options are. It will come into effect the next time you list something, it will NOT change any
of your current listings
I had a bloke from Italy buy a book from me. He did ask how much postage would be and paid it happily even though I stuck £3 on for him not paying
attention 
I sold a 240V macerator pump to an American buyer once.
When it got there, he said, "this is 240V".
To which i repsonded, "course it is, that's the voltage here ".
When he started getting uppity, I suggested he sell it to a uk bidder.
As others have said, anyone who bids with there eyes closed and brain turned off - it's their own lookout.
