Bob - there may be a great hassle for those receiving international shipments (though I have never had that problem) but it is not that much extra work to send international. A bit more expensive, a few minutes extra to fill out one of 5 different forms depending on package weight, value, destination, time of day, and phase of the moon. But if anything I would expect a seller to offer a 5% discount in order to compensate for the hassle the buyer will experience and to encourage bidders from outside the U.S., thereby broadening the pool of buyers and probably achieving a higher price overall.
