Why is eBay adding shipping exclusuions to my listings?

[recped]

I'm starting to get foreign buyers asked why they are excluded from my listings. I offer items Worldwide without ANY exclusions but I'm now seeing the following countries excluded on all my listings:

Excludes: India, Brazil, Israel, Philippines, Ukraine, Indonesia, Jamaica, Qatar, Singapore, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Chile, Cameroon, Colombia, Morocco, South Africa, Malaysia, Egypt, Latvia, Kuwait, Macedonia, Costa Rica

This was added in the last couple of days because as recent as last week I had orders from at least one of those countries.

Perhaps these are added because Canada Post is not accepting mail to these locations but not everyone ships via Canada Post. I don't and I don't need or want my listings blocked. I certainly don't want to have these exclusions added without any notice.

Can somebody explain what is going on? Why this action was taken and why it's being forced on me?

I understand there are risks with international shipping right now, I'm quite willing to accept those risks. This seems like ridiculous babysitting and I'm not a child!

It’s Oct 2021 and am still suffering from the same problem stated in this topic. Regardless of how I set up my countries shipping exclusions , eBay still adds countries that I do not have problem shipping to (as well as CPC) to my exclusion list without my consent ! Any update from eBay or anyone?!!

None of those exclusions were added to my listings. Just sent an order to Brazil via Shippo Oct 6. Tracking was has been normal . Went to check again and CP site is down today...again.
