    just curious to know

    it seems that most of you don't ship your [fs] items international
    its fine actually, everybody have the right to choose where to ship, where not to ship
    but just curious to know the reason for not shipping internationally
    people think about international trade will have more fraud or what?

    I don't ship international anymore because a lot of my int buyers wanted me put mark the packages as a "gift" so they wouldn't have to pay the fees. I also have to actually go to the PO to ship the item and its just no longer convenient for me to do so. Nothing against internationals, but its just a hassle.

    buttrfli, thx for your response
    to ship the item locally, you don't need to go to PO ?

    Before I answer your question (lol) I don't ship internationally when I sell on Ebay. Now if its on a board (like this) I generally don't mind so much because I don't sell a whole lot here... with that being said.... I can ship anywhere in the USA and never leave my chair (except to give the pkg to the mailman lol) I can pack, print postage and request postal pickup all at my desk. I can even make the mailman come to my door and get the pkgs so I don't have to go out to the mailbox if the weather is bad LOL! When I found out I could do that, I stopped complaining about the cost of postage going up

    I sold gameboy games on eBay. All I needed was a padded envelope and something like $.56 worth of stamps.

    I'd just stick them in the mailbox and the mailcarrier would pick them up. They usually only do that if it wieghs under a pound.
