Payment certainly isn't a problem with PayPal, but without a PayPal account it can be problematic. Foreign ... to the US ... money orders or even bank checks are extremely difficult to process. For example, a check drawn on a Panama bank would have cost $75 to deposit into her account.
It's also likely related to a general lack of knowledge about overseas packaging and how to fill out the customs forms. The blanks on the forms are small and difficult to write in. There are two forms to be used, depending on the size of the package and a few other variables. I do the shipping for Rose and she receives orders from all over the world, so I've become reasonably familiar with the procedure, but it's still a "task". The average transit time seems to be from two to as much as four weeks. Israel is the exception. It can take several months for a package to be delivered there. Probably more than you wanted to know ... 73!
