Why do you think it is "IP based"? It sounds more like traditional fraud checks requiring the billing and shipping address to be located in the same country.

probably because of this quote:

On the internet, everything is measurable, and fraudsters leave behind tracks they’re not even aware of. What IP address is the user coming from?

edit: oh, you probably mean 'why do you think (random business) refusal is IP based'.

His example of NewEgg is a bad one. They straight up say they don't ship international orders on their FAQ page.
