Blocked by seller - how to tell

Hi, I am a relative newbie to AS but have had some great success with it.

I have a question regarding some snipes I have placed being rejected due to "blocked by seller". I realise that this will be because I am bidding on items in the USA and these sellers block buyers from outside the US. (I am in Australia.)

What I would like to know is if there is any way I can tell whether the item I am bidding on will block me. I know that before I used AS, when I placed a bid on Ebay it would sometimes give a warning that the seller would not ship to me, but I could still place the bid.

I'm still happy to use AS but it's just a little frustrating when the auction ends in the middle of the night for me and when I check in the morning I find out my snipe wasn't placed. If I could know in advance I wouldn't bother sniping these items.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
