U.S.A... U.S.A... U.S.A... I've noticed how a LOT of people don't want to ship intl on ebay. I kinda' like buying stuff from Canada, GB, France, or wherever as I figure there are a lot of people that are scared to buy it. You know, because of terrorists. When I sell stuff on ebaby, I'm happy to ship internationally as I'm always hoping two Russian oil barons will get into a bidding war and drive the price up!!! I use Paypal and charge extra ($3-$5, depending on my mood) for having to wait in line at the post office, but that's the extent of it. I'm sure there could be customs issues on the other end, but after it leaves my hands, that's not my problem. Always get an intl tracking number from the customs forms to confirm it's been sent. And US customs has NEVER been a hassle for clearing small items. I did ship some vases from Spain once, and that took a while to clear, but that's the extent of it.
Sounds like you ran into some bad luck, don't give up on us! U.S.A... U.S.A... U.S.A...
