2. Send them a polite note and hold your ground.
Restate that it is for shipment to the US only. If they have a US address (friend or relative) who would receive it and forward the item to Uzbekistan, then agree to that. Otherwise make it clear that the bid is not valid because of the shipment terms and go with a second chance offer to the next bidder.

You DO NOT want to ship something like the laptop out of the country unless the shipper has the same kind of tracking and proof of delivery you get here. Otherwise you're setting yourself up for a "I never got it" claim with no way to verify it either way.

Also, make sure the payment is fully cleared before shipping! PayPal is great for that.
