Go the open item dispute route, one of the options is "Mutual transaction cancellation" or something like that. Then further reason select "Both parties decided not to complete this transaction.

In the future make sure to set up your filters. Select what countries you will ship to and block anyone not in those countries.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

You have to reply. Reply politely and explain the transaction is null and void because you put in your description no international sales. Tell him you are initiating a mutual transaction cancellation and for him to please accept it. Just be polite but specific.

There is always a risk of a negative strike, but he probably won't. Even if you do, there is a chance you can get eBay to remove it. Just follow the eBay rules to the T, that starts with communicating. If he stops replying and/or refuses to accept the mutual cancellation, you will have to wait the 7 days. If that happens, wait and file again.

BTW, I just remembered. IIRC with unpaid item dispute there is an option for "Buyer from a country I don't ship to".

Good luck.
