Managed Payments is broke, won't take credit cards, called, they admitted the problem and wanted me to try to fix it on my end and not their end which is BS.

When you make a listing you can check off what areas you will not ship to. Problem solved.
That will not work .
You would have to cancel the transactions and then block each bidder registered outside U.S.
Ebay Managed payments does not give you the option to block bidders registered outside U.S.
When you click "create listing", among the many options is to create an excluded locations list. Your listing will be blocked to bidders in those countries, making shipping problems moot. See pic below.
So how does this solve the OP's problem? That is the extra fees associated with a buyer whose shipping address is in the U.S. but whose billing address is not? We'll set aside the fact that the shipping address is bogus or incomplete for now.

A US shipping address and a billing address in a different country is usually indicative of someone living in said country who has a relative/cohort with a US address that they use to work around shipping issues (if they're honest) or to perpetrate potential fraud (if they aren't). If the seller excludes that person's country when they create the listing in the first place, he never sees the listing to begin with, thus no issues or fees to complain about.
