Very true. The other problem is for seller protection you must provide tracking to PP to avoid item not delivered 'claims'. Unfortunately to do this it makes shipping overseas very expensive. So even if you offer overseas shipping, most won't buy because of the high cost of shipping [which I don't blame them]. It's a shame though because when I first started selling over there, I used to ship first class, etc. to keep the cost down on overseas purchases. Never had a 'not delivered' claim. Then as e*ay became buyer proactive, the buyers started claiming 'not delivered' and I was out items and shipping costs. I'm not willing to take that chance again, no matter which site I sell on.
