Ebay buyer from country not listed in shipping options

I had an item up on ebay that just sold yesterday for $400. I checked the user and they have 0 feedback, and they are in China. But when I created the auction, the only shipping options I enabled were for Canada and USA only. I didn't want to deal with any oversea scammers.

Did I set up the auction incorrectly?

Filling out shipping costs by country for the item in question is one thing, blocking bids by country is a different thing.

To block buyers in states, territories, or countries you don't want to ship to:
Go to My eBay > Account > Site Preferences.
In the Selling Preferences section, scroll to Shipping preferences, and then click Show.
Next to Exclude shipping locations from your listings, click Edit.

The buyer hasn't paid yet, but I just noticed in the order summary that it says I have to pay for the shipping? WTF.
