The best thing would be to contact the buyer. Explain that you are in UK and the shipping was not set-up for US. Refund the order in PayPal. If they are still interested in the purchase. Send a separate invoice to cover the extra shipping costs either through PP or though Bonanza
Since bonanza is US based and will default to US postal services meaning any shipping added into the listing will be shipping to US.
If it cost 23.00 USD to ship to US then that is what will have to be put in the listing. See screen shot below
As of now any costs added to your listings are set up for US and will show as USD to US buyers and not UK and all other countries including any UK purchase will come as an Offer to add shipping for approval
Shipping will be from the “point of view” of the US..and all option will be base on that.
To have shipping set from a different location, you will have to use batch edit and set shipping up as “International shipping”
For US (domestic) the set up will basically have to be a flat rate from UK to US and set it that way when doing the listing
To set up shipping outside costs US
Here are threads from other UK sellers that might help

I got up to 130 items and it will not post anymore. I was under the impression that as a basic seller I could post thousands of [URL removed] items.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
