Dave:
I think you have the answer, though for it to work there has to be an
easy way to create the black list of addresses. Maybe the Eb*y database
is accessible, as it would have both country of residence and e-mail
address. I'd be interested if there's any way sellers can block proxy
bidding (ie, sniping).
Best wishes,
Martin
