Why do some UK sellers refuse to ship to the US?

So since the guy said no to my 225 pounds, he has sold... (roll drums)

Zéro posters.

I assume that 225 pounds is nothing to him, but if it is, why even bother selling posters for 20-30 pounds.

I think you guys explained it well, I get it, but then I don’t.  If you’re trying to sell something, I think it’s better if you actually sell what you’re trying to sell.  But that’s me, and I never sell, so what do I know.

Stand in line in the customs office with an open tube and a roll of brown paper, get the tube inspected by customs employees, close the tube taking care the poster is safe inside, wrap the tube with the brown paper, get the wrapped tube stamped by the customs employee, walk to the dispatch line, fill out a content declaration form, a customs form with value of contents and weight, pay for shipping and then walk out of the post office. You can return home walking, by bus, or car, whatever you prefer.
It's awesome sending international packages from Argentina

You  gotta pack your posters in front of them...man that is brutal.  So many people watching, so much pressure!

So much tubes to inspect...

I had a collector friend ask for help shipping from the UK to Australia. The seller wouldn't answer her request to ship to Australia so I contacted him and said I'd buy on her behalf and reship. For some strange reason he wouldn't ship to me either and I'm already in the UK! I guess he didn't really want to sell his posters.

Not sure what you mean. There is no packaging of posters (or anything being sent international) in front of any postal clerk (here in the US, anyhow).

I take the sealed tube/flat parcel to the PO counter, along with the customs form and CASH  , and the parcel is then given its pretty postage label and off it goes to start its trip to the EU.

Easy.

did the seller state that he would ship internationally? when listing its an option you have to choose
Where you trying to buy via Ebay.co.uk or Ebay.com?
If the seller chose not to ship internationally then the posters should only be visible on the co.uk site

Sorry Paul, what does this mean?

Listing on .co.uk does not denote auto listing on .com as well if international shipping is ticked...! 

Which is to say, I list on .co.uk, I ship internationally, but my items appear only on .co.uk.
