Okay, I do this quite a bit and international shipping is a bit of a PITA.
In order to ship cheaply, you have to use the US Post.  This means you have
to take the time to fill out the customs forms, visit the Post Office, and
stand in line.

How much extra do you charge for shipping to cover your time??

Big stuff is even more difficult, but there are ways...

Personally, I like selling to Europe.  I maintain a bank account in Germany
which helps greatly with buying and selling in Europe.

Cheers,

Subject: eBay ship to US only - why

So I am on eBay again checking out what available to feed my Vanagon
addiction.  Lots of stuff, but all the US seller only want to sell to
the US.  Could someone tell me why?  The obvious answer is that it
may be a PITA to send an international shipment, but I'm willing to
pay the extra cost, and the seller will get my higher bid to offset
the extra effort.

Come on US sellers.  How about being nice to us international folks
that want (no need) your stuff.
