Not usually, but many overseas postal services are.

I can't speak for everyone else, but in my case, it has to do with time. In
the past, overseas payments have taken up to three weeks to reach me. Then I
have to go to the post office, stand in line for about 20 minutes, fill out
numerous forms, and then the package gets mailed. After that, it can take up
to three weeks for the recipient to get the package and leave feedback.
It's much faster and simpler to restrict shipment to the US.
