Re: Has any international sellers been scammed by US buyers
International scams are a thing of the past since everyone knows about them these days, kind of a no brainer. I would worry more about abuse of eBay Buyer / Seller Protection policies. Anyone who knows about the policies themselves in detail can abuse the system and cash out of eBay. Ebay claims this doesn't happen often, but it does happen. You can get scammed anywhere, anytime if someone decides to be a complete ass.
Safeguards are always use signature confirmation for items above $250, and default tracking for items below that amount. Always ship to confirmed addresses and under eligible transactions or don't bother; prefer to keep all your transactions within' the US. There are other safeguards if you make your way around policy, but I can't speak of them here.. If there's one thing to remember, eBay and Paypal are only interested in following their own policies.
However, if you just want to get feedback, nearly no one is going to give you a hassle over the small stuff.
