[QUOTE="clembo, post: 322067, member: 8033"]Very good point although it has changed since 9/11. Shipping to countries other than Canada can be a real pain these days and that is more time consuming than it used to be. I had a buyer email me from Taiwan before 9/11 and asked if he could bid having read my terms. I said sure as long as you can pay me in U.S. cash. Well, he did and I sold him a lot of stuff that he wanted. No bouncing checks, no paypal, no impossilble to cash money orders just good old U.S. currency. There is also a problem with the U.S. postal service, as many of us have found out. You have to declare what's in the package. Put down coins and it may be stolen by a postal employee. I declare my items as "computer related or photography" any more bu if it does legitimately get lost I'm out of the money paid and coins. It has become a smaller world but unless you're a big time dealer or company it's too risky for the small guy.[/QUOTE]
