How to not receive orders from ROI?
I stopped selling/shipping outside the UK several weeks back. I did this by updating my BIL and also put my account on holidays on every country except the UK.
I have now received an order from ROI. From the charges/taxes involved, I can already see that I am going to ship the order at a considerable loss.
Does anyone know what else I need to update on my account to stop orders from ROI (and other countries apart from the UK)?

That’s the solution - just remove international options from amazon.co.uk shipping templates. This will apply to existing listings, it will just take 15+ minutes to ripple through.
Also double check that you have all the other Amazon EU sites on holiday mode, if you have signed up for those sites at some stage…

You need to untick international shipping on all your shipping templates

You probably also have to check every item in your inventory to remove international shipping options from each one. Changing your shipping settings apparently only affects new listings, not existing ones

Thanks @olderithian. Where about on each item do I do this? I just tried editing one of my listings and I couldnt find where to remove international shipping options.

It’s at the bottom of the offer page (the page that comes up when you click on “Edit” at the right of each product) - you need to scroll down to see it

Well, it wouldn’t be, because there is no Amazon.ie site. This order is being fulfilled on the UK site.

Does that now mean that orders from ROI cant be avoided such as in this case?

No, not if you adjust your shipping templates to exclude foreign sales. But bear in mind @olderithian’s point about new vs. existing listings.

I have to say, I was under the impression that if you change the shipping template, though there is a delay whilst it propagates, it will change anything allocated to it.
However, I would imagine if not, then the easiest thing to do to ensure it changes, is to create a temporary shipping template, swap to that, then swap to the original (Changed) one.

Sorry, I have misled you. BonChoix is correct. But I think there is still a way to exclude the Republic, I just can’t find it at present
