[OM] Beware of foreign entanglements?

I just made my first Ebay sale, and already there's a problem. My ad clearly specified, "U.S. and Canada bidders only, please," cashier's check or money order, U.S. priority mail shipping. So of course the winning bidder has a .fr at the end of his email address, indicating he is in France. He has not contacted me yet. He has good feedback. There is a U.S bidder one dollar lower who the French bidder "sniped" at the last minute.

So what do I do now? Do I have a right to refuse to sell to him? I couldn't find anything about this situation on the Ebay help. Or should I just live with it?

I really didn't want to deal with the hassle of bank wire transfers and international shipping on a $56.00 item--a Zuiko 50/1.4. I don't plan to be a big-time seller, so I really don't want to open the door to middlemen with a PayPal seller's account or Ebay Checkout.
